Could this not be automated in the footer link, e.g. by including the

Technically you could automate it in a variety of ways. e.g. Each
message through the list gets a "report me" link added to it with a
their unique ID in the link. Or, you forward an entire message
(headers and all) to an automatic assessor.
However, you would need some double-checks to stop miscreants
deliberately abusing the system by falsely reporting normal messages.
The simplest one being that a certain number of people would have to
report the same post to get past a threshold.
