Engage / ArtifactView / Comments

[James William Yoon]

Thanks for bringing this question to list!

Let's actually keep a count of the abuses (i.e., use integer instead of
boolean).

Doing so would afford us the following benefits:
a) Accidental, unintentional tapping of the "report abuse" button would have
a less significant effect (lower count)
b) Individuals abusing the "report abuse" button (e.g., users who
maliciously attempt to have other people's legitimate comments removed)
would have a less significant effect (lower count)
c) Crowd sourcing: if many people find something offensive, there's a good
chance it's offensive (although the flip side of this democratic morality is
that marginal users who genuinely find something offensive would have a less
significant effect on the abuse count)

The upshot of all of this is that the moderator can prioritize which
comments to look at first and delete, instead of wading through a
potentially long list of not-necessarily-offensive comments.

Also, I imagine you've already taken this into consideration, but the report
abuse functionality should probably be reset for each session or login, and
not by IP since it's quite possible that multiple users will have the same
IP when in the museum, especially if they're using a museum device.

Cheers,
James
