This issue encapsulates several stories from the Commons MVP
As a spam patroller (user role), and by extension, the community manager role, I would like :
- View content reported as spam by community members and unpublish or delete it as appropriate so that I can help community managers maintain a high signal to noise ratio on the site.
- If Mollom is enabled, the content should also be reported to Mollom.
- My name listed on a site-wide listing of spam patrollers so that I can be recognized for my work as a patroller.
Community manager:
- See which users have posted multiple pieces of content marked as spam and easily disable their accounts so that I can efficiently neutralize sources of spam on my website
- See which users have reported content as spam that was then unpublished or deleted, so that I know whom to grant the "spam patroller" role
- When more than 1 piece of content by a user *has been unpublished as spam* for that user's account to be disabled so that they can easily be prevented from posting spam in the future
Nice to have:
Ideally, this report would also include users whose accounts have been marked as spam/inappropriate, and the ability to block those accounts and automatically unpublish all content by the user.
Flag abuse probably provides a good base for this functionality, though we'll need to fix #1194566: Remove "Reset" functionality.

crimsondryad commentedWould this be the default functionality or just easily toggled on? Would the community manager be able to configure the number of times an item has to be marked as spam before the user account gets disabled? What if someone decides to use that "1 piece of spam" setting to effectively troll other people they don't like and get the victim's account blocked?
Preferably there would be a configuration setting to turn off the site-wide spam patroller list or at least restrict viewing by roles. I'm thinking of intranets where posting employee account info might be used for social engineering attacks ( can you tell, I watched "TrackDown" last night...the movie about Kevin Mitnick ).
