Flag/Report Reviews

[mikeburgh]

Any thoughts on adding a way to be able to flag, or report a review when it's a inappropriate or spam ?

For example I found this review on an extension I publish:

But there is no way to flag or report it to request it be removed.

Obviously being able to just remove any review from an extension might not be the right solution, but in cases of either inappropriate content, or spam as per the above, it would be good to have some options.

I agree it would be useful to make it easier for our users to report spam.

We have now worked on a way for admins to be able to delete review comments, see eclipse/openvsx#1403, but you need a way to be made aware of possible spam.

So a publisher should be able to flag review comments for his/her published extensions when he/she thinks they are inappropriate.

The admin should have then a list of flagged review comments and is able to delete them or dismiss the flagging. wdyt?

I think that's a great solution.. admins can make the final decisions, and publishers can flag em!
