'Flag as inappropriate' notification system - is there a gem or plugin for Rails?

Hi,

I would like to implement a 'flag as inappropriate/abusive' notification system for my app, whereby users can click an icon or link if they think a post/comment is inappropriate, and a notification email is then sent to the site admin. Are there any gems/plugins for this kind of functionality (Rails 3)? Or if I need to roll my own, would using a taggable gem (eg. acts_as_taggable or similar) be suitable for this purpose? Thanks for the help!

A: 

You can use the can_flag plugin.

Thanks for the prompt response, that's definitely the kind of thing I'm after although Rails 3 compatibility might be an issue...

Yes, It's true, there's no Rails3 support (yet) for `can_flag`, by the way I do not remember another gem/plugin to flag content =/.

Cheers for the help, it's a good starting point anyway!
