I understand your concerns, but rest assured I'm aiming for something
that doesn't require that level of UI (but doesn't forbid it either -
as someone involved as owner/admin of many public channels, I'd be
happy for a dedicated "moderation panel" client I could use,and I did
start work on such a thing a few years ago).

Protocol and implementation aside, showing "Undo moderation" on a
moderated message seems like a natural thing that should exist,
regardless of anything else. The difficulty is that in some cases
permanent moderation is desired, such as when removing illegal
content. I don't think the protocol for this should be too hard for
the client, and the UI is just a menu item (which would replace the
'Moderate' menu item, if that's how it's implemented).

If undo functionality exists, the automation is entirely server side,
and shouldn't require anything extra on the clients.

Matthew
