ReportVideo plugin

ReportVideo adds a control that lets viewers report inappropriate or problematic content to the site team. It helps moderation but does not remove a video automatically.

Setup

  1. Configure outgoing e-mail and the site contact address.
  2. Enable ReportVideo and optionally set emailLogo to a trusted HTTPS image.
  3. Report a disposable video from a normal account.
  4. Confirm the message reaches the intended moderators and contains enough context.
  5. Document who reviews reports, response times and escalation rules.

Treat reports as allegations, not proof. Protect reporter/user personal information and preserve relevant evidence according to your policy.

Common questions

Why does no e-mail arrive? Test SMTP separately, then inspect AVideo/mail-provider logs and spam filtering.

Does a report hide the video? No. An authorized moderator must review and choose an action.

Can visitors abuse it? Rate limiting, authentication and moderation workflow should be reviewed; never follow links or attachments from a report without caution.
