How does moderation work in BuddyPress?

BuddyPress core has admin comment moderation only. This plugin adds member-led reporting on 8 content types plus threshold-based auto-hide.

How do I add a report button to BuddyPress?

Activate the plugin. The Report button appears next to every supported content piece for every logged-in member. No shortcode, no setup.

Can members moderate private messages?

Yes. Recipients flag a message; it routes to the admin log with sender, recipient, and timestamp.

Can members block harassers?

Yes. Member-to-member blocking is built in. Blocked users' posts, messages, and profile traffic disappear for the blocker.

Does it work with BuddyBoss?

Yes. Same plugin runs on open BuddyPress and BuddyBoss Platform. Adds the member-led reporting BuddyBoss does not ship.

Does it work with bbPress?

Yes. bbPress topics and replies have dedicated moderation classes. Reporting works the same as on BuddyPress activity.

What is auto-moderation?

Hide content automatically once it crosses your report threshold. Each content type has its own threshold.

Annual. Renews at 30% off. Cancel anytime. The plugin keeps running; only updates and support pause.

What members can do 8 content types flagged with one click: activity, comments, messages, profiles, groups, avatars, bbPress topics and replies

What you have to do 1 click to moderate or dismiss each report from the queue. Set the auto-hide threshold once and it runs without you

Why it works Auto-hide fires when reports cross your threshold. Repeat-flagged content disappears before you have to look

Auto-hide at 5+ reports 12 hidden this week

The report queue. Five items, four content types, one click each. The threshold-based auto-hide row at the bottom (5+ reports) shows what is already off the site without your intervention.

What's inside

Six capabilities. Each does one job well.

Every tier ships every capability. Pricing differs by site count, not by features.

One-click reporting on 8 surfaces

Members flag. You see a queue. Spam disappears without you scanning every post.

Auto-hide at your threshold

Set the report count. The cleanup engine hides repeat-flagged content while you sleep.

Member-to-member blocking

Members block harassers themselves. Posts, messages, profile traffic vanish for the blocker.

Centralized report log

Every flag, with reporter, content, and timestamp. One-click moderate or dismiss.

Email + BP notifications

Admins get email. Reporters get a BP notification confirming the flag was logged.

Works everywhere BuddyPress works

Open BuddyPress, BuddyBoss Platform, bbPress, WPML - all supported in the same plugin.
