{{< changed-in v="1.8" >}} The server MUST verify that the user
reporting the event is currently joined to the room the event is
in before accepting a report.
Particularly during waves of a harmful content, users may report whole
rooms instead of individual events. Server administrators and safety teams
should, therefore, be cautious not to shut down rooms that might otherwise
be legitimate.
{{< changed-in v="1.8" >}} When processing event reports, servers MUST
verify that the reporting user is currently joined to the room the event
is in before accepting a report.
Contrarily, servers MUST NOT restrict room reports based on whether or not the
reporting user is joined to the room. This is because users can be exposed
to harmful content without being joined to a room, for instance, through
room directories.
