This screencast shows the Rules Link module , and some basics in how to use it. It covers:

That Rules Link adds links to entities (and that you set up each link separately).
That these links triggers rule sets.
That the links may be displayed as links on (for example) comments and nodes.
That Rules Link is useful when you previously used Flag, but didn't really need the 1/0 data that Flag provides (but rather just the Rules trigger effect).
That access to each configured link can be controlled using the standard permission system.

All of this is demonstrated by adding a "block spammer" link to comments, allowing administrators to block the comment author and delete all comments written by him/her.
