Abuse report delivery

The "report abuse" feature allows users to send a message to server moderators. On the client side, the report is sent either during the login (session selection stage) or during a session. The client sends a report command to the server which delivers it further.

Currently, only a HTTP based delivery mechanism is implemented.

HTTP delivery

The following setting are set in the server configuration:

• Delivery URL
• Auth token

The server delivers the message by making a HTTP POST request to the configured delivery URL. The Authorization header will be set to Token <Auth token>. The message body is JSON encoded:

{
	"session": "Session ID",
	"sessionTitle": "Session title",
	"user": "username",
	"auth": true/false (is the user authenticated),
	"ip": "reporter's IP address",
	"message": "report text",
	"offset": session size in bytes,
	"perp": ID of offending user,
	"users": [
		{
			"id": user ID,
			"name": "username",
			"auth": true/false,
			"mod": true/false,
			"ip": "user's IP address"
		},
		...
	]
}

In addition to the report message written by the user, the full report also includes additional context to help the moderator reading it:

• The name and info of the reporter
• The ID of the session
• The ID of the user the report is about (if omitted, the report is about the session in general)
• The title of the session
• The size of the session history at the time the report was sent (offset)
• List of users in the session
