Description

[Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

Steps to reproduce:

I attempted to revert https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1851335#c1.

Actual results:

I was unable to remove the comment nor attachment, nor mark either as spam.

Expected results:

I should have been able to mark them as spam, like https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bugzilla-spam/#_tag_comment and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=faq.html#getting-help-spam1:~:text=alternatively%20if%20you%20are%20logged%20in%20to%20your%20red%20hat%20bugzilla%20account%20you%20can%20click%20the%20report%20spam%20icon%20in%20the%20header%20bar%20of%20each%20comment%2C%20this%20will%20display%20a%20form%20that%20can%20be%20filled%20in%20to%20report%20spam allow.

You'd need the editbugs privilege. Then you'd be able to tag the comment as spam

So bugzilla already has this but it's somewhat restricted so as not to be abused.

I've marked the offending comment as spam and also marked to attachment as obsolete so it won't be displayed by default any more.

Thank you for the correction, [e-mail]. Per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1881290#a3006_691781, I've consequently updated the title.

This is a policy decision for BMO.

[:glob ✱]

As marking a comment has spam has the ability to trigger automatic disabling of accounts, this is an action that must only be performed by trusted users (those with editbugs).
