### Reporting 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.
|
|
|
|
#### Client behaviour
|
|
|
|
{{% http-api spec="client-server" api="report_content" %}}
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
|
|
|
|
Particularly during waves of harmful content, users may report whole
|
|
rooms instead of individual events. Server administrators and safety teams
|
|
should, therefore, be cautious not to shut down rooms that might otherwise
|
|
be legitimate.
|
|
|
|
{{% changed-in v="1.8" %}} When processing event reports, servers MUST
|
|
verify that the reporting user is currently joined to the room the event
|
|
is in before accepting a report.
|
|
|
|
{{% added-in v="1.12" %}} Contrarily, servers MUST NOT restrict room reports
|
|
based on whether or not the reporting user is joined to the room. This is
|
|
because users can be exposed to harmful content without being joined to a
|
|
room. For instance, through room directories or invites.
