TODOs

1. Report 404s better (thread by id and remark by id)
2. "All new posts flagged" mode (require approval for new posts)
3. Tests for mod-only user?

Crazy future ideas

(Lord knows there's TODOs I could be working on...)

1. Is remark_tally counting hidden remarks? Tried to add a WHERE NOT hidden_status but that returns null, probably need a different JOIN which may not be worth the trouble/processing
2. Implement tripcodes (moving this down in priority due to complexity...)
3. Return a text response instead of HTML if a .txt extension is requested (JSON?)
4. Post thread via SMS (twil.io??)
5. Option to remark without bumping?
