I think we may want an API more sophisticated than the moderation status at a point. If a user checks a point then drags the placement location it requires a recheck even though it's very unlikely that the status will change over the distances most users drag.
If we had an API that returned some distance e such that you were okay to place notes in the bounding box (lat-e, lon-e, lat+e, lon+e) it would avoid the need to recheck.
Since e is a minimum distance it could be done with bbox checks and capped at some max value.
Or maybe this is too much complication for a situation that is unlikely to arise very often?
