During this weekend I saw that new profile has been created to spam on D*.
Is it possible to create a "Report this as spam" button in order to report to podmins a spam attack, so that they can delete the spam posts?
It should be added to photos, posts, comments and users.
What do you think about?

Note that always going to the podmin of the poster has its problems too. He might find content that you find improper or that is illegal in your country acceptable and won't delete it. So if anything we should additionally notify the posters podmin.

@jasonrobinson yeah the goal was to say "this is maybe problematic for you to host, you should have a look".

Fair enough, why can't we create a proposal for this issue. If one thinks he is unfairly spammed, he can have his own pod.

Lets have a SPAM button Closed Mon 22 Sep 2014 4:03PM
There is already a report spam icon in D*. There is no use for this proposal.
Let D* have a “Report this as spam” button in order to report to podmins a spam attack, so that they can delete the spam posts and block users who spam frequently.
It should be added to photos, posts, comments and users.

The arguments for SPAM button have convinced me, so I am voting for it.

You can already report posts and comments to the podmin using the ! icon in the top right corner when hovering over the post/comment.

Just found out there is already a spam button in D*

I'm feeling unable to vote on this, can you please better differentiate it from the existing report functionality? As it stands it seems like your proposal duplicates it.

oops then you ( @jonnehass ) must block this proposal saying that its irrelevant. Yes there is already a report feature.

Just reported for the first time an offensive (racist) comment and I was a bit surprised to find the report came to me (as podmin of my pod). What I expected was the report to go to the podmin that hosts the person who wrote the comment - so that if the podmin deletes the comment, it will be removed throughout the network.
I realize the feature is in early stages and thinking about this, this kind of change would have required federation level changes (since I guess it would have to be in the protocol itself - otherwise it could be abused too easily). So I guess I was just a little too optimistic how the report works.
As it currently is unfortunately it does not really help against the spam (or abuser/hater) problem at all. If I or a user on my pod report spam for example on my pod, the podmin whose pod it came from will not get the report.
