Hey there.

As pling hosts executable code but also just any random files, it is important at least for logged in users, to be able to easily report individual repos as malicious, inappropriate or spam.

I suppose the current way would be writing an email, but this is a barrier and will reduce the effectiveness of user reports

If you are on the product page, there are actually links in the right sidebar below the support button:

- Report Misuse

- Report Spam

- Report Clone

Or do you mean something else?
