**Key Features (Phase 1):**

User Interaction:

* Users can flag inappropriate/concerning comments by clicking a flag icon.
* Every comment will have the unique link

Escalation Process:

* If a comment is flagged by three different users (threshold: 3 flags), a notification will automatically be sent to the assigned reviewer by email. On that email It will appear 2 options with their own link: Deleting, or unflagging
* The flagged comment will then be escalated to the GovTool Working Group, which will collectively decide on the next steps:
* Delete the Comment: If deemed inappropriate or harmful.
* Unflag the Comment: If determined to be flagged in error.

Security Measures:
* A single level of security will be implemented for individuals tasked with deleting or unflagging comments.
* This security mechanism will have a form of hashing.
