(Get the code!)
If you must repeat yourself in a UI, do it unobtrusively. Things that help:
- Brevity. In Ubuntu Software Center reviews we use a single word with a question mark -- "Inappropriate?" -- and we don't put an icon next to it. (Using an edit icon for marking spam makes no sense anyway.) Some Web sites go the opposite route, using just a flag icon with no text (see for example the Disqus theme currently used by OMG Ubuntu).
- Dimness. In USC we make the link light grey, and this is fairly common in other forums.
- Compactness. Put the link on the same row as other metadata. Launchpad bug comments are awfully laid out generally (a hangover from the Plone era that I never got around to fixing), but at the very least the link could be on the same row as the commenter and date.
