SPAM ALERT AND USER BLOCK

1. Preview Post - When I click on Preview, I see the preview and click Post, I stays on the same preview page. As soon as I click on Post, post should be completed and I should get out of the Preview page and go to the post details page. Preview page should also have a button called "Cancel". Clicking on this button should cancel the post reply operation and move back to the post details without posting any reply.

SPAM ALERT AND USER BLOCK

1. We need a new user type on forums called "Moderator". The moderator user should be able to edit and delete any post, warn and block a user. If I login to the forum as an admin, editor or moderator user type, on user profile page , there should be two link buttons called "Warn User" and "Block User". By clicking the Warn user, an automated email will be sent to the user titled "SPAM ALERT" and emails should have body saying "Spams are not allowed on C# Corner forums. This is the first and final warning.". Also, Warn User link will have a status of warning. If first warning is sent to the user, the "Warn User" link will change from blue to red. This will tell a moderator that the first warning was already sent to the user and this is the time to block that user. The "Block User" link will deactivate that user from the access. 

2. The user profile page and the left side of a post below the user membership type, we need to show the member type, status, and awards etc. For example, if I am an admin, editor, moderator, author, MVP, and MVA, I should see icons for these options below the membership level diamonds.
