Community moderation
A report button on activity, comments, messages, profiles, groups and bbPress, all landing in one queue with the reason attached. You stop scanning and start deciding.
Spam or advertising
“Third time this week, same link.”
Report, queue, action
Moderation at community scale is a routing problem more than a judgement one. The judgement stays with you; what this removes is the scanning.
One click on the post, the profile, the group or the thread, then a reason and a short description. Seven surfaces carry the button, and reporting needs an account.
An email and a BuddyPress notification reach you and your moderators. The reporter sees a confirmation and is not chased afterwards.
Every report lands on the same screen with its reason, its description and who sent it, filterable by status and by content type.
Hide the content, restrict what the author can do, lock the account, mark them a spammer, or dismiss it. Hiding is reversible from the same screen.
Set this before you switch it on
Hide from the reporters
The shipped setting. Once a post passes your threshold, the members who reported it stop seeing it and everyone else carries on as normal. It calms the complaint without removing anything, which is the safer default and rarely what people assume they bought.
Hide from everyone
One radio button away. Past the threshold the content comes off the community until you look at it. This is what most people mean by auto-hide, so choose it deliberately and set the number with your own traffic in mind.
The threshold starts at five reports and each content type carries its own. There is no keyword or profanity filter here: this is member-led moderation, so nothing is judged until somebody complains.
THREE WAYS CONTENT GETS MODERATED
Three layered systems work together. Members do the spotting, the cleanup engine does the obvious calls, you handle the judgment calls.
One-click flag on 8 content surfaces
For: Community managers who can't possibly read every post in a 10K+ member community.
Threshold-based hiding, no admin involvement
For: Sites where obvious spam needs to disappear immediately, not after admin gets back online.
Members handle harassment without admin
For: Private communities where harassment between members shouldn't require an admin ticket.
OUR HISTORY

Reports come from the people reading the feed. The plugin acts on them without waiting for you.
One-click flag on 8 content surfaces. No shortcode, no setup - appears next to every supported piece of content for every logged-in member.
Set the report count once. The cleanup engine hides repeat-flagged content automatically. Each content type has its own threshold.
Built-in workflow. Members block harassers themselves. Blocked posts, messages, and profile traffic vanish for the blocker.
Every flag with reporter, content, content type, and timestamp. One-click moderate or dismiss. Audit-trail for defensible decisions.
Admins and moderators get an email and a BuddyPress notification when content is flagged. The reporter gets an on-screen confirmation at the moment they submit.
Same plugin, every WordPress community stack. WPML-ready translations. No platform-specific add-on needed.
Extend without forking. Custom reasons, custom thresholds, integration with your CRM or webhook ladder.
Background processor handles old flagged items, expired auto-hides, and stale reports without manual admin runs.
Pay once and own it forever, or pick the annual plan. All features included in every plan, no hidden add-ons.
The plugin keeps working. Updates and support stop until you renew.
Annual licenses include a year of updates and support and renew at 30% off. Lifetime licenses are a one-time payment and never expire.
