As he’s explained it to me, it sounds like it would need to be part of the code. From the outside, it would need to be a button on each post that would flag it as needing attention from a member of the SR. I feel like the flag should be visible to everyone, so that if things are getting out of hand, it can be put on pause until the SR takes a look at it, but it should not reveal publicly who flagged it. But maybe there is a better system for handling visibility and anonymity.
From the inside, it would need the features that Vaniver described, namely an issue-handling system for all the members of the SR to keep track of who’s taking care of what, and which posts need attention. I’d think that SR should know who flagged a post, but maybe it could be anonymous to them as well.
(Or, maybe this has already undergone a more thorough discussion behind the scenes, in which case, you can just take this post as a vote in favor of SR support.)
I very much like the idea of the Sunshine Regiment, as discussed by Vaniver, here:
