Bug Description
Bug Description:
Under moderations there is a tag called Unspecified currently. After talking to mpt it turns out that this is not meant to be a tag but a note to the user to specify a reason.
We need to make it so the user can't send info to moderations if the tag is set to Unspecified.
Version:
Django 1.1.1
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 14:15:55) [GCC 4.4.3]
preflight 0.1
rnr-server 11.01
openid 2.2.1
launchpadlib 1.6.0
piston 0.2.2
South 0.6
OS:
64bit Maverick
Browser:
FF 3.6.15
Problem URL:
n/a
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open software-center
2. Select a package and write a review
3. Once the review shows up in SC mark it inappropriate
4. Note the Unspecified. Leave it on that and then make a note as to the issue.
Expected Result:
This was bought about as to why we had unspecified and other tags, at which point I was told unspecified is a clue to the user to specify a reason not a tag to submit on.
With that in mind the review should fail to send if Unspecified is selected. Maybe we could make the Unspecified a different colour to help identify this as not being a tag.

There are two main purposes for the reason type selection. One is so that, if we ever start getting hundreds of flags, we can funnel them directly to the appropriate people (e.g. legal problems to a lawyer, offensive language problems to a moderator). The other is to discourage people from flagging a review just because they don't like it.
For both of those purposes, it helps if the default reason type is one that you can't submit. It's okay if you have to think a bit before submitting. Perhaps the default option should be labelled "Choose a reason" instead of "Unspecified".
