Plots2: Need Flag Option for Spam: Research Notes, comments, wiki pages

[Zengirl2]

I recently spotted a spam research note for an escort service. I didn't have the admin to delete it, but it would be great if there was a flag option. That way a reader could flag it so a moderator could take it down.

Thanks, Leslie! I was hoping we coudl do this pretty easily just by having
the flag icon button go to:

mailto:[email protected]

We can reform this into a First-Timers-Only issue!

Can we expand this to a "flag as spam" button on all content?

[jywarren]

let's add one-by-one follow-up tasks rather than expand this one, but yes!

This could be done in multiple places, but to copy in code I prepared for a MapKnitter version of this:

<a rel="tooltip" title="Flag as spam." class="btn btn-sm btn-default" href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Reporting+spam+on+Public Lab&body=Hi,+I+found+this+item+that+looks+like+spam+or+needs+to+be+moderated:++https://publiclab.org/n/<%= node.id %>+by+https://publiclab.org/profile/<%= node.author.username %>+Thanks!">
  <i class="far fa-flag"></i>
</a>

Awesome, opened the first one for comments here: #2412

[jywarren]

These are now live on the dashboard. Adding this to comments as well by requesting a first-timers-only contributor:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/2657

Once that's done, we could repeat this almost identically for comments on Answers, and on answers themselves:

Just after this line for Answers:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/b56de9d1591c05f0cc35de95c1d7685938b4ec12/app/views/questions/_answer.html.erb#L16

And just after this line for Comments upon Answers:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/b56de9d1591c05f0cc35de95c1d7685938b4ec12/app/views/questions/_comment.html.erb#L28

If anyone wants to get some practice making first-timers-only issues, this is a good place! @publiclab/reviewers @publiclab/soc

[ebarry]

Yes, these do look great on the dashboard -- thanks all! It would be great to break the rest of these issues out as described above ^^

[jywarren]

2657 completed in https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/pull/2674 -- great! Let's repeat for the above.

@publiclab/soc would anyone like to take a look at #2657 as an example and build an almost identical one for flagging Answers or flagging Comments upon answers, as outlined above?

If you haven't created a first-timers-only issue yet, or would like a chance to create another, this is a good example, and you can see how a very similar one was created, claimed, and solved. 🎉 😄 🥇

I and the rest of @publiclab/reviewers would be happy to help you create a FTO issue and ensure it's well formatted. See these resources:

---

This has been marked as a good candidate for becoming a first-timers-only issue like these, meaning that it's simple, self-contained, and with some extra formatting, could be a great entry point for a new contributor. If you're familiar enough with this code, please consider reformatting or reposting it as a first-timers-only issue, and then ping @publiclab/reviewers to get it labelled. Or, if this is not your first time, try to solve it yourself!

Hello, @jywarren I can help, but I am finishing some things this week, so I can commit to it only next week.

If someone else can work on this right away, go ahead, otherwise, I'll mark it to start next week. Is that okay? :)

[jywarren]

of course! Thank you!

Hi, @jywarren I created two new issues #2731 and #2732. What do you think? Also, I wans't able to add the labels to them, could you help me? :)

[jywarren]

Wow! Sorry, little late on this but looking now. Tremendous!

OK I invited you as a reviewer!!!

@Zengirl2 look at the great team pitching in to solve this! Thanks everybody!!!

[stefannibrasil]

Awesome, thanks! :tada:

[Zengirl2]

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to a spam-free zone.

[jywarren]

I'm marking this as a good candidate because folks looking to get involved can read over the original solution in #2657 which was completed in #2674, and reapply this to other places where we could use a flag button.

Can folks identify places where this is still needed? We can start linking to the corresponding templates and get this completely wrapped up!

[SidharthBansal]

I think we need to link the related issues as we do. Eventhough gci folks are younger but they are smarter too. If they will need help they can just ping us.

[oorjitchowdhary]

Hi all, I think the flag as spam button is active everywhere now.. wikis, questions, notes, comments, answers, and comments on answers

So I think we can close this
Thanks

[jywarren]

Indeed, thank you!!
