We should be able to report invites as spam

[Yoric]

Your use case

Being spammed with invites happen. One of the (many) steps towards fixing it would be making it easier to report an invite as spam.

I suggest that we should rework

Reworking the dialog itself

Behavior:

• "Accept" remains unchanged;
• "Report..." does the following:
  1. Mark the invite as ignored (see below);
  2. Open the existing Report dialog to report the invite event;
  3. Open a dialog to offer the ability to:
     a. Ignore invite
     - Behavior: Closes the dialog.
     b. Ignore any future invite to this room
     - Behavior: Closes the dialog.
     - Behavior: Add room to list of ignored invites.
     c. Ignore any future invite from this user
     - Behavior: Closes the dialog.
     - Behavior: Add user to list of ignored invites.
     d. (If at least three users from the homeserver are already ignored and the homeserver is not the local homeserver) Ignore any future invite from this homeserver
     - Behavior: Closes the dialog.
     - Behavior: Add server to list of ignored invites.
• "Ignore" does the following:
  1. Put the invite in the list of ignored invites;
  2. If any of the following conditions is matched, open a dialog to offer the ability to:
     a. (If this is not the first invite to the room being ignored) Ignore any future invite to this room.
     - Behavior: See above.
     b. (If this is not the first invite from this user being ignored) Ignore any future invite from this user.
     - Behavior: See above.
     c. (If at least three users from the homeserver are already ignored and the homeserver is not the local homeserver) Ignore any future invite from this homeserver.
     - Behavior: See above.

Giving the ability to bulk ignore

TBD

Note: We're currently starting to implement a prototype of the feature without UI.

matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#4151 makes this possible. I'm closing this in favour of #2486 for now - it has a more detailed set of links.
