Proposed XMPP Extension: Group Chat Reporting
The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP. Title: Group Chat Reporting Abstract: This specification describes how a client can report abuse and spam in a MUC or other group chat context. URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-gc-reporting.html The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this proposal as an official XEP.

I presume in the reporting an entire chat case one or more stanza-ids could be included as examples of why the chat is being reported? It occurs to me that this isn't really group chat specific and one might want to report a user to server operator using almost identical syntax as well, which indeed https://modules.prosody.im/mod_report_forward.html already does.

Thanks for this contribution. 2 remarks: - if reporting is reused from XEP-0377 (Blocking Command Report), should not it have its own XEP number? - the report is done to the MUC service, but if the service itself is malicious, maybe it should be reported to reporting entity own server? Best, Goffi
