Add flag button for spam/inappropriate content.

Currently, Admins/moderators in the channel can do something about it, but they can't be around the whole day checking the chat room. It would be nice to have a flag button which gives us the option to notify either Gitter's admins or room admins so they can do something about it. Or maybe something like 'vote for ban' (knowing the danger of misuse) where if a user reaches X votes to be banned the system will ban him automatically (and the option to the user to appeal in case of misuse).

I think it would be really nice to have something like this 👍

Using 'vote for ban' by X votes by normal users to autoban can be misused heavily (by creating a lot of fake accounts) even to ban an admin too (if not implemented correctly!). And flag to notify gitter admin will overflow notification messages for gitter admins due to 1000+ rooms.

Completely agree

As easy as adding a message similar to "this message has ben already flagged" :).

… a message similar to "this message has ben already flagged" :).

In my experience it is better for a flag to be visible only to:

1. the person who performed the flag
2. administrators of a room

– not visible to everyone in a room (if that was the idea).
