BuddyPress Moderation Tools is the most comprehensive community moderation and abuse reporting solution for sites built with BuddyPress. Developed by BuddyDev, this plugin transforms the management of your community into an agile, secure, and fully configurable process, allowing both administrators and members to actively participate in maintaining a healthy environment.
The plugin allows members and visitors to report inappropriate content across multiple content types: user profiles, groups, activities and replies, WordPress posts (including custom post types), as well as bbPress forum topics and replies. Each content type can be configured independently, with report thresholds that trigger automatic actions such as hiding content, suspending users, or blocking login.
Among its most notable features is automatic moderation of activities and comments, which keeps all new content under review until an administrator approves it. It also includes a role-based whitelist system, user suspension with customizable restrictions, report categories to classify incidents, and a complete historical log of all moderation actions taken.
The automated email flow keeps both affected users and administrators informed at every stage of the process: reporting, hiding, restoring, and deleting content. Additionally, administrators can limit which roles can report, and even allow only registered members to do so.
For developers, the plugin offers an extensible API that allows registering new content types as reportable, making it a scalable tool for communities with specific needs. When purchasing BuddyPress Moderation Tools, you also get free access to the BuddyPress Block Users plugin, which allows users to block other members based on administrator-configurable rules.
