Expose Message ID for IMs and other messages to make abuse reporting specific messages possible

[canny]

Currently, to report a message, you have to copy / paste the message that you are reporting. Sometimes these messages are larger than what the report field allows.

It'd be easier on the end user if the report had context that is verified by the server, and I imagine it'd make life on Governance a bit easier, as they don't have to search for the message that is being reported, as the message context will be directly provided.

This is already reported by the EventQueueGet's ChatterBoxInvitation's instantmessage.message_params.MessageId.

As a open source contributor, I'd be more than happy to draft a pull request featuring this capability into the viewer if somebody from Linden Lab wants to outline how they want this surfaced.

This issue has been linked to a Canny post: Expose Message ID for IMs and other messages to make abuse reporting specific messages possible 🎉

[akleshchev]

There is no true 'message id' in chat, it's either agent id, object id, transaction id (short lifetime) or group id. But filling abuse report fast is a good idea.

[akleshchev]

I checked canny discussion and I'm under impression that user is trying to report an object, which doesn't have an 'abuse report' button in chat like avatars do, which is likely an oversight. The same should be true for any popups.

This is probably a two-part feature request. An option to report objects from right-click menu and a better way to include messages from chat.

[akleshchev]

User replied and inability to directly report abuse for an object's IM was what drove this request.

TBD:

• Add report abuse variant for objects
• See if it's feasible to pack the message separately in a non-editable way and it it's feasible and won't blindside server, update the UI and packing.

Added 'abuse report' option to IMs sent by objects.
