Reporting abuse and harassment, blocking allies about ifme HOT 13 CLOSED

🎉Excited to announce that our Rails Girls Summer of Code team, Team Rubies (@asquare14 and @prateksha) will be working on this feature this summer. 🎉

@alvarocasadoc and I will help them with designing and implementing this feature. We look forward to collaborating with the community to deliver this feature to empower our users to create safe spaces.

I'll be updating this comment with links out to related tickets as the summer goes on.
#901: Create user admin privileges
#863: report model

#870: 'report user' button on user profiles
#871: 'report' button on comments

@prateksha, @asquare14 and I have added some additional notes on the blocking feature:

Banning feature

• Add ‘ban user’ button to user profiles (only visible to admins)
• Add ‘banned’/’blocked’ flag to User model
• Check flag to prevent blocked users to log in

Blocking feature

• Create a new relationship to store blockings information.

• Add ‘block user’ button to user profiles.

• Implement new action to store the blocking information.

  • Maybe can test this feature both by UI and rails console.

• Deleting allyships when a new blocking is created.

  • Find allyship and destroy it.

• Hiding user from any user searches.

  • User B should not see user A profile.
  • User B should not see user A in user searches.
  • User A should not see user B profile completely, just an unblock option.

• Blocking in groups. Instant notification.

  • When user A blocks user B -> User A gets a notification with the list of the groups they both belong to and is asked to leave or stay in them. Also is told that their allyship will be lost (in case they were allies)

Also, tests should be written to make sure all these features are correctly implemented.

Feel free to add any notes or thoughts!

@estermer Has any work been done on this issue? I was browsing through issues and noticed this had been sitting for a bit and thought I could help out with it? I don't want to step on any toes though. Thanks!

No worries @estermer. I have had the same challenges myself. @julianguyen would it be possible to assign this to me? I am going to finish up #442 and then get this going as well. Thanks!
