Report a problem with a spot

Sends a spot to the moderators' review queue with a reason.

Once a spot collects enough open flags (3 by default; admins can change this), it is hidden from the public map until a moderator reviews it, and result is hidden. Spots verified by moderators are never hidden automatically.

Each visitor can flag a spot once. Rate limit: 20 flags per hour per visitor.
