If Keil had the time then it would probably be easiest with just a "report this post" button. Very quick to implement and works quite well, but requires some form of attention on a 24x7 basis. This concept works best for national sites, where most posters are in the same time zone as the private or organisation that hosts the site. Distributing the role to a subset of the regulars can solve the time-zone problem but be a bit problematic since many posters will feel that one or more of the "user-space" moderators will have received more power than they where capable of wielding.
