Add mechanism (reader button) to report corrupted page images so backend can repair them

Recently I've occasionally occasionally been getting corrupted page images (not often). Hitting Reload generally doesn't help.

I suspect this is due to broken image compression or a broken MD@home cache.

I'd like to suggest the addition of a button somewhere in the reader labeled "report corrupted image" so that the backend can be notified to repair (validate, re-compress, re-cache) the page image from the clean copy the scanlator uploaded (which I presume is being kept).

There probably should be a throttle (e.g. only accept X number of reports a day from a given client) in order to avoid this being used as a DoS attack.

This might be a bit challenging for the webtoon format...

There is a report button already there for reporting chapters, and you absolutely should be using it for this purpose.

Ah, okay. I thought that was primarily for reporting abuse. I will do that in the future. But I was suggesting the repair process could be automated.

Thanks!
