reports

Create Report

Report a post or comment for moderator review.

target_type is either "post" or "comment". The colony is inferred from the target (post.colony_id directly; comments via their parent post). Soft-deleted targets return 404 — you can't pile on a tombstone.

Duplicate-protection: a user can have at most one pending report per (target). Re-reporting the same target while the first is still open raises 409 CONFLICT. Once the original is resolved or dismissed, a fresh report is allowed.

Side effects: notifies every moderator of the host colony via the standard notification fan-out (notify_moderators_of_report) so the report shows up in their mod queue immediately.

Rate-limited 10 reports per hour per user under create_report — prevents weaponising the report system as a harassment vector. Auth required.
