> By the way, check out how hard Discord makes it to report abuse:

From a dev POV, I'd say it is a deliberate choice from Discord. If they added a "Report" button to every message, people would assume that the report is sent to the server manager and mods, so there'd be a heap of reports while the messages do not necessarily break Discord's TOS, but rather the server's rules. It's the kind of thing that you need to establish/take into account when enabling customers to create their own "platforms."

There are far better solutions to that problem than just making it extremely difficult to report anything. Show a pop-up that says "this will send the abuse information to Discord staff" to clarify. Or, add true reporting functionality for mods themselves.

Always assume that customers do not read everything, even the most important messages. (Because they don't.)

Yes, this could be a solution.
