Reporting from 4chan

[ccd0]

Currently if I'm on 4chan, and I load a deleted post from one of the archives via JSON, and it turns out to be CP, to report it I have to navigate to the post on the archive and report from there, which I think is too inconvenient for many users to do. Anti-CSRF tokens prevent submitting the report form from a script on 4chan. fgts.jp set up a report form that could be opened from 4chan, which made reporting CP from /b/ more convenient:

https://so.fgts.jp/report/?board=b&no=640000000

Would it be possible to add something like this to the FoolFuuka software so every FoolFuuka archive gets it?

making it easy to mass submit reports could be an issue for trolling (if other archives allow it and don't have an issue it's probably fine?). That's assuming some endpoint doesn't already exist.

having the script/plugin link to the post on the archive would make it relatively easy to report things as a quick fix on their side since the urls are predictable (but not needing that step would obviously be preferred)

The idea isn't to have 4chan X submit the reports, but to add a reporting form page like what fgts implemented, which 4chan X can open in a little popup window, and from which the user can submit the report. You could use the same anti-CSRF measures that are already in place, and show a message explaining the archive's policies on what it will and won't delete. And if you needed to add captcha or something to deal with trolls, you could make that change without 4chan X or any other scripts using the interface having to be updated, as long as you keep the URL to the form stable.

4chan X already has a link to the post on the archive in the post menu, but that means loading the entire thread from the archive, which is much slower than just bringing up a report form.

so just a report page that can be embedded in an iframe. i'll work on it next week or so if no one that knows the code base takes care of it by then.

This would indeed be very useful.

Do the archives share reports at all? Some boards have more than one archive (for example, /qa/ has four). If they don't share any reports, that might be a case for having an endpoint you can post reports directly to instead of a report form page, so that the reports could be submitted all at once.
