Report interception

Meowlnir can intercept reports from local users for either notifying the admins, or processing commands from the admins.

To use it, you must proxy the report endpoints to Meowlnir (see Reverse proxy configuration) and define a report_room in the Meowlnir config file. Reports from local users sent using the report button in clients will then send notices to the specified room. The room must be a management room (defined using the PUT .../management_room/... endpoint in the Meowlnir API).

Users who are admins in the management room can also send commands to Meowlnir via the report feature. Currently, the only existing command is /ban, which can be used to send a ban policy event.

To ban a user, report one of their messages and type /ban <list> <reason> as the report reason. Meowlnir will then find the policy list whose shortcode is <list> and send a ban policy with <reason> as the reason.
