Lack of interest Warning approval queue

[Sim]

For the sake of consistency, I have always removed the permission for my moderators to give warnings and insist on giving them all myself (one day I'll employ a community manager to do that for me!)

However, it would be useful for mods to be able to suggest warnings which I can then assess and approve or reject - somehow tied into the report system.

Typical workflow now:

1. user posts something inappropriate
2. someone reports it - reports gets created in report management system (or as report thread)
3. we discuss the report and decide on action required
4. moderators suggest a formal warning is possibly warranted (I also like to give "educational warnings")
5. I assess and send a warning

It would be useful if, rather than relying on me seeing the request (which is currently a comment in a report thread), there was a mechanism whereby a moderator could actually initiate a warning and choose the type of warning, perhaps even editing the message - which then gets submitted for approval before it is sent to the user.

So: step 5 becomes "moderator initiates warning, chooses severity and edits text", step 6 is then: "warning approvers get alerted to new warning, assess/edit and then submit or reject".

That would allow the moderators to be more proactive in this process, but still allow me to maintain consistency.
