At that point you might as well just write moderation tools for it, without requiring the user input step. Which wouldn't be a bad idea in theory, but it runs into the usual LW bottleneck of development time.

All that's actually needed in my case is an active admin that I can tell "this is an extremely suspicious pattern; please check it out". Having a button to display moderation statistics is just a way to make it harder for the admin to rationalize away not doing any adminning (or looking at it from the other side, for the user to be able to prove to the admin that the problem is worth taking the time to look into).
