Resolve Report with Comment

[d42ohpaz]

Requirements

• Is this a feature request? For questions or discussions use https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support or the matrix chat.
• Did you check to see if this issue already exists?
• Is this only a feature request? Do not put multiple feature requests in one issue.
• Is this a backend issue? Use the lemmy-ui repo for UI / frontend issues.
• Do you agree to follow the rules in our Code of Conduct?

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Sometimes people will report things they do not like, but do not break any rules. It would be a nice to have if mods could add a brief comment to why they resolved a report without taking action on it.

Describe the solution you'd like.

When resolving a report, it would be helpful to store a brief comment (maybe 255 character max?) as to why the report was resolved without an action. This comment could be messaged to the user who made the report, and/or it could be visible to the user when they go to view their reports.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Mods could manually message users with their reasons.

Additional context

Manually messaging users adds additional workload for moderators. Adding this feature to the existing resolution process would be easier. It could also be optional, so as a reason can be provided or omitted.

This would require adding an optional resolve_reason to all the report tables.

This comment could be messaged to the user who made the report, and/or it could be visible to the user when they go to #5108.

Mod actions like remove post are sent as notifications, but we should also probably do this for report resolves.

We wouldn't send comments or private messages, because that would expose the mods name, invite replies and increase mod workload.
