RE: How to deal with inappropriate content

On our company intranet site we have a page where users can request page deletes, in the form of page name and reason.  An admin simply watches that page and is notified about new requests.

Pages have history and potentially much significant work over time, so limiting page deletes seems reasonable.

A better kind of solution is a template added to the top of the page like a one-parameter template: {{ delete | Looks like spam }} and admins search for that periodically.
