Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/communities/maintaining-your-safety-on-github/reporting-abuse-or-spam

What changes are you suggesting?

The current doc states only collaborators may report comments on issues and PRs, which gives the impression non-collaborators cannot report specific instances of spam or harassment if they're not contributors. I think a clarification that you still can report a comment through the report user form might be useful for people that were confused about this implementation, such as myself.

Hi @avalonv 👋 thank you for raising this issue. I think the pertinent information already exists in the article at line 14. What I would suggest we do is to move the paragraph at line 14 into a permissions statement in the front matter, which will give it more prominence. You can read more about that here: https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/contributing/content-model.md#permissions-statements

You (or anyone else) are welcome to make that change in a new PR, and we will be happy to review it.

Thank you again for taking the time to contribute to our docs. ✨
