wpDiscuz - Front-end Moderation

Moderating comments often means leaving the page where a discussion is happening and opening the WordPress dashboard. This plugin brings comment controls to the front end of a site using the wpDiscuz commenting system. Moderators can approve comments, unapprove them, edit them, or send them to spam or trash while viewing the discussion.

The plugin also lets moderators move comments between posts, add authors to the site's blacklist, and send customizable email notifications to comment authors. Registered users can delete their own comments within a configurable time limit. Moderation menu colors and backgrounds can be adjusted, and moderation phrases can be translated through the plugin settings.

Features

• Moderate on the front end: Approve, unapprove, edit, or remove comments while viewing the discussion, without opening the WordPress dashboard.
• Sort comments into queues: Send comments to spam or trash, or unapprove comments that were approved automatically.
• Move comments between posts: Find a post with autocomplete search and move a comment there to place it with the relevant discussion.
• Blacklist comment authors: Add a comment author to the site's blacklist with a single click to block disruptive users.
• Notify comment authors: Send customizable email notifications to comment authors when moderation actions require communication.
• Set user deletion limits: Allow registered users to delete their own comments within a configurable editing time limit.
• Adjust moderation appearance: Change the colors and backgrounds of the front-end moderation menu, and translate moderation phrases in the settings.
