Title:
Make option to mark comment as spam more prominent
Area:
spam, comments
Summary:
In order to mark a comment as spam, you first have to select "Delete comment" and then tag the comment as spam. This can lead to people looking for a "report spam" option that doesn't exist outside of that dialog. Let's change that.
Description:
I got my first spam comment today. Yay me! Anyway, I looked for the "report comment as spam" button but there wasn't one. What the heck?
So I Googled "dreamwidth spam" and got this: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Handling_Spam_Reports
Which was all about the antispam team. Where were the instructions for how an average user could report something to them? I typed "spam" into the wiki's search box; still no answers.
Finally I clicked on "Delete comment" and it had a checkbox, for if I wanted to report it as spam or not. There it was!
Maybe we should make "Report comment as spam" a top-level option, like in the notification email. (Although with four or five other top-level options, depending on whether or not you have to click to unscreen the comment, it _is_ starting to get cluttered a bit.)
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
