Limited Challenge host messaging | Requests/Ideas

An opt-in for a limited communication to a challenge host, for a member to:

flag a book for attention
flag there is a missing entry

This limited form means Hosts can get some communication about Challenge issues, whilst also limiting the potential for excessive random messaging.

Use cases:

Book Challenge is the set of books from an award, and a new award has been given and so the new book should be added to the challenge
Book Challenges where the book is part of a set (such as an international award) but the wrong book has been selected
Book Challenges where there was more than one entry for a year but only one entry for the year was included in the Challenge

In the absence of this, people just end up creating near identical challenges

+1 I have a reasonably popular challenge and am suddenly getting a bunch of friend requests. I don’t want to add random readers, but part of me wonders if they’re trying to be able to contact me about something. I wouldn’t want a fully blown inbox, but a limit dropdown of missing a book (with link to book + optionally prompt), clearly missing a prompt, inappropriately added book (with link to book + prompt), typo in prompt etc. could be nice!
But like any user contact, it’d also need the ability to block another user, unfortunately.
