Issue Summary

Unfortunately I do not think I am capable of adding in this feature request, but I'd like to be able to apply Mollom's services to the form presented when a user clicks the 'report comment' link generated by the Flag Content module. Since switching from Akismet to Mollom (because Mollom jives with boost much better than Akismet, which presents inline captchas for everything) I have been receiving a lot of spam through the report comment form. Thanks.

I'm very hesitant for this feature (see related request #316614: Allow anonymous users to use the 'Mark as abuse' feature). My response in that issue was:

I think the concern with this feature is allowing [anonymous] users to report anything they want. What if I visited your site and marked all your content/comments as spam? Probably a better solution for you is using a module like Flag, Flag content, or Abuse where if a certain amount of people 'flag' an item, it can be unpublished, an administrator regularly checks to see if any content has been flagged, and if so can use Mollom to report and delete the content.

I guess one option to consider would be adding a 'Report as spam' action in Mollom. This action would need to be configurable with options to not delete content, unpublish content, delete content, etc). If Flag Content has a 'comment was flagged' trigger, you could assign the mollom action.

Marking this as a duplicate of #338510: Implement hook_node_operations() and add actions as it has a bigger vision for actions.
