I've looked at the current requirements:
A patrol page which shows only posts by users in certain membergroups, allows quick reporting/deleting/nuking, and keeps track of which posts on that page have already been seen. Plus a user setting to show a link to this page in the header.
It doesn't seem to mention anything about filters.
I think adding filters to the patrol page will help users report more due to it being more clean and relevant to the user viewing it. For example, a lot of the patrol page is local boards which the majority isn't relevant to the user patrolling it. Could we either have a filter included on the patrol page or automatically ignore any of the boards that the user is ignoring?
