Reporting Content
=================

.. _module:report_content:

Users may encounter content which they find inappropriate and should be able
to report it to the server administrators or room moderators for review. This
module defines a way for users to report content.

Content is reported based upon a negative score, where -100 is "most offensive"
and 0 is "inoffensive".

Client behaviour

{{report_content_cs_http_api}}

Server behaviour
----------------
Servers are free to handle the reported content however they desire. This may
be a dedicated room to alert server administrators to the reported content or
some other mechanism for notifying the appropriate people.
