Thanks for the question @terabytetiger
- I think this is gonna be answerable on a case-by-case basis so by no means take my word for it!
As an admin, I generally can tell why someone has vomited on a post or comment. In my experience, people with more to say tend to use the Report feature, so I appreciate having a quick-and-dirty option for someone to flag content without needing to fill out further information. (Edited to say "flag content" rather than "report content")
The ... you see either on the top-right of a comment or underneath the reaction icons on post displayed a desktop/to the right of the reaction icons on a post displayed on mobile should list the option to "report abuse" and submit a report with a free text box. Lmk if you don't see that and I'll do more digging.
I totally get that confusion! The full reporting tool is available to all registered members of a Forem, whereas the vomit button is part of the trusted user toolkit and is accessed via moderator panel as you discovered.
I probably should have made that clearer at the time, but happy you beat me to it!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Maybe I'm missing something then - where did the regular report option go? 😅
