report abuse star is gone

One cannot report abuse anymore, the star is gone.

Another thing is that abuse reports should be sent to all admins. 
Not sure if we can sort them into groups, e.g. reports from Ikamva users will 
only be sent to Ikamva admins (and me), etc.??

Report links should be back now (beneath items, with [like], [more], etc).  All 
admins have access to the same report queue - this is because there may not be 
clear responsibility: suppose an Ikamva user reports a comment by a Kingswood 
user on the blog post of a Nombulelo learner.  It's probably not immediately 
clear who should decide what is to be done, who has authority within the school 
to take action, etc.

Thus all admins can annotate abuse reports, and all abuse reports show up 
alongside the feed of all admins.

Ok, great. I found it and like the new feature! It's great to discuss the 
problem, if there is one.

Tested annotation. Can the original poster read the annotation, too, or just 
all the other admins?

The person making the report cannot see the report or any annotations - only 
admins have access to the report queue.  It may be encouraged to respond to the 
user who files a report by PM saying what was decided and if any action is 
taken, but that is a procedural detail rather than a software one.

Reports of abuse may bring to light hate speech, illegal content, evidence of 
offline bullying, etc and so must be handled discreetly, and may be subject to 
legal discovery.  This is why the person making the report does not have access 
once they have made it, it may not be any of their business, and may have 
privacy implications for victims of abuse.
