Allow community to flag inappropriate/defunct APIs

[bajiat]

User story

As Apinf PO I want to use crowdsourcing for tagging / flagging inappropriate or defunct APIs

To be considered

• why does the user flag this API: inappropriate, defunct, other reasons
• what action should be taken based on flagging: removing or hiding?
  • how many flags are required
  • automated actions based on a threshold
• could someone use this for blocking competitor APIs?
• should flagging be linked to gamification (users will earn more rights by the activities they take)
• alerting
  • owner
  • admin
• If the APIs are not removed, but hidden, should we display flagged APIs (for admins? for owners?)
• Admins should have a way to undo the flagging?

@bajiat : Do you want this option to be in both card and tabular view? Or only tabular view would be enough?

[Nazarah]

This option should also be available in individual API page as well.

@Nazarah I'm actually now wondering whether there should be two cases: flagging (on individual page) and showing the flag on catalog
