On <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/flagged>, I sometimes see content that is not valid abuse, but more interestingly, some of them don't seem by mistake. For instance, I sometimes see items with the reason "[[ATTN:ADMIN]]". If it's the same person reporting them, I'd like to know who it is, so I can message them. I think <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/flagged> should display who flagged the content as abuse. If more than one person marks content as abuse, it would help to display all people who reported it.
Thanks Chris for filing this bug! I was right about to file this myself because I couldn't take it anymore. I also think we need to require the username of the reporter who flags a post using the "Report Abuse" button as I'm trying to see if there is a constant offender of that feature constantly reporting good profiles & posts as abusive. It's getting annoying clearing the Flagged content queue of those types of reports. I used to dismiss some of them as accidental clicks on the Report Abuse button in the profile pages or on posts. But a lot of them are not. Someone is either doing this on purpose to annoy us or they simply don't understand what is considered abuse. I even considered a bot might be doing this, a bit farfetched though. For instance, today, scoobidiver's profile was reported. He's one of our French localizers and KB contributors. I've also seen Verdi's profile reported in the past and probably some other notable people. And tons of people who haven't committed any forms of abuse. It's comical in a way but it's really annoying to have to remove these items. Especially since we can take no action on any of the reported profiles. Those permissions are saved for admins, who rarely (or never) look at the "Moderator Forum Content" page. We can then try to reach out to whoever is abusing the feature and ask them to stop or in addition to this, file another bug to block reporting abilities for certain users who have abused the feature. Unless you guys decide it would be better to ban them? But then, they'd just create another account and we'd have the same problem again.

Can someone verify that this is correct in production? If it's not correct, we should reopen it.
Yeah, I just verified that this works as expected. Great job, Tobbi!
