Opt out for moderation messages

Finished

Right now, all admin-users seem to receive message when inappropriate content is reported. This is annoying since most people with admin-privileges are not involved in moderation. The generated email message is also cryptic, instead of "resource reported" one could say something more descriptive e.g. "content on the website [instance name] has been reported as inappropriate, please check by following the link below". We have more and more admins now and the message is confusing.

Conversation with Antti Hukkanen

I suggest we would add a new notification setting in the user's personal notification settings under My account > Notification settings. This setting would obviously only be visible for users who are administrators OR are moderators in a participatory space (for participatory processes the users with the "collaborator" right and for any other participatory space all admins of that space).

This would allow the users to control themselves whether they want to get the moderation messages in case they have the right to moderate something.

Here's a mockup what the setting could look like:

Technically this would be a new boolean setting on the user model, e.g. receive_moderation_messages. By default, this setting would be enabled not to change the current behavior.

A thing to note here is that this leaves the responsibility for the single users to disable this setting. In case we want to allow admins to control who are receiving these notifications, I would suggest making all the notification settings controllable for by admins for every single user in the system.

This would be a completely separate feature that would need to be further discussed. This could be discussed along with this proposal:
Ability for admins to create new user accounts

In addition of the ability to add new users, the admins could also be able to edit the existing accounts (at least on some extent, like the notification settings).
