* Is there a way the admin can turn thread to a self- moderated thread and hand it over to another OP who is ready to moderate the thread? I will volunteer.
I highly doubt this would be possible, to add to what other members here have said, if this feature is implemented, I think it can be easily abused, imagine a scenario where I create a thread and hand it over to USER A to manage, and USER A has in time past had conflicts/misunderstanding with USER B and USER C.
USER B and C found my thread, had something meaningful to contribute, they posted their comments, USER A found their their comments but because he/she is still hold some grudges against USER B and C, he/she decided to delete their posts as a payback.
I will suggest you just keep reporting and allow the moderators to do their job.
Will a neutral tag with a bold message to these users be sufficient to send a signal to sig managers? Too harsh?
Its good enough, But I will still suggest that you leave this to campaign managers to decide who gets a tag and who doesn't, we all have different perspectives, levels of understanding/judgements of what a spam post really is, a post you consider as spam might not be considered as same by a campaign manager, so I will honestly suggest you leave the tagging for campaign managers, they are the judge, they go through all the posts before deciding which gets paid for and which doesn't, so tagging an account for low quality posts, I personally think is their responsibility.
