I like the idea of exposing the offtopic flag list (and counter) to TL4, provided resolution is left to mods.
In fact I think all the automated flags (spam / offtopic / inappropriate) should be “exposed” to TL4 in an anonymous fashion, we did this for StackExchange and it worked quite well.
I would go as far as to say that “spam” list should be exposed to TL3 as well.
@codinghorror thoughts?
