Are you talking about "Hide", "Report as Spam", or both? Because I hide stuff all the time.

Does it make a difference if a user had to explicitly select me in order to send me the message? Does that make it the user's fault and not the app - i.e. does asking consent of the sender give an app immunity?




Hides count against the app. More comments count in favor of the app. And you don't have to be a user of an app to review it or influence whether it gets banned.


Source? I don't disbelieve you, I'd just like to read this in black-and-white myself for maximum astonishment.
