wpDiscuz - Report and Flagging

Comment sections can attract spam, offensive content, or discussions that stray from the topic. This add-on lets visitors report comments directly, so site owners can use community input to spot content that may need attention. It is designed for websites that use wpDiscuz and want to give readers a role in comment moderation.

Choose simple flagging or a report form with categories and a description field. You can set a threshold for flags or downvotes that automatically unapproves or trashes a comment, and receive email alerts about reports and comments reaching their limits. Controls for guest reporting, email content, report categories, and front-end translations help tailor the moderation process to your site.

Features

• Two reporting modes: Offer simple comment flagging or a pop-up report form where visitors can select a category and describe the issue.
• Automatic moderation: Set a threshold for flags or downvotes, then automatically unapprove or trash comments when they reach it.
• Custom report categories: Add, edit, or remove categories on the report form to give visitors options suited to your comment section.
• Email notifications: Receive alerts with report details and notifications when comments reach the maximum flags or dislikes.
• Guest reporting controls: Choose whether visitors without accounts can flag or report comments on your website.
• Editable email messages: Customize notification email subjects and content to match the communication style used on your site.
• Front-end translations: Translate front-end phrases individually to adapt the reporting interface for your site's language.
