I made a "Report a bad/dead link" mod today.
It allows you to put a "Report as bad/dead link" link in the link description. I put it next to "Rate it" on my site.
When the surfer clicks on the "Report as bad/dead link" link, it takes them to page asking them to select a problem from a drop down box and submit it.
Upon submiting it, the system will actually spider the url and then send out an email to the sysadmin with the link info, the surfer's problem with the link, and the spider results. The email also has a link to delete that url from the db.
Here is a sample of the email output:
ID: 1364
Title: foobar
URL: http://foo.com/foobar
Problem: 404 Not Found
Spider Result: 404 Not Found
To delete this link:
http://foo.com/admin/admin.cgi?db=Links&do=delete_records&delete=1364
Sincerely,
Links Manager.
If anyone is interested, I can post this mod somewhere.
