Add "Offensive? Unsuitable?"links to request pages.

This was an outcome of the 28th February 2012 WhatDoTheyKnow.com pub meet.

Perhaps associate with explanatory text saying requests for your own personal information and vexatious requests are not acceptable.

Clicking the links would prompt an email alert sent to a new complaints@ or similar email address for the installation.

It should presumably also flag the request as "needs admin attention".

See also #443 "Quick takedowns" intended to reduce the administrator time taken to deal with such, and similar, notifications.

A particular thread ought only be able to be marked once ie. once the admin team have decided it is an acceptable use of the site the links ought be greyed out (to prevent repeated alerts about the same [controversial] content).
