Description

Might be a dupe of #193. It should integrate with the Reviewer Admin and forums though.

Need a way for people to do this without abusing it. Maybe we remove the ability to report a plugin if you report them for no reason too much. "Bozo" mode. Both security, malware, etc

Some off the paper thoughts... A 'report this plugin' button would need the following to be actually useful:

  • What KIND of report (security, guidelines, others)
  • Restrict 'new' users (to prevent sockpuppet attacks)
  • Automated replies / messages - this email has been sent to...
  • A limit on how many times a specific user can report a plugin
  • Anyone on mod-watch or blocked in the forums is prevented from using the form

And I think that sending the email should go to the developers (anyone with commit access) directly - NOT anon - as well as us (the plugin review team). The lack of anon SHOULD prevent some people from being children, and others... well.

Due to the complexity of this one, it's being shelved. However if you think you know a great solution, leave comments! We would like to have this, it's just crazier than assumed :(
