Did you try "editorkey,quiet" as the rule result ? May be it's ok but 
not documented. If not one way to solve this is to change the web page 
template in order that the radio button "quiet" is checked by default. I 
agree that this would not provide exactly the feature you request 
because it will be applied only for web moderation operation and this 
solution does depend on the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header.
