<p>This plugin gives your visitors the possibility to report a comment as inappropriate. After a set threshold is reached the comment is put into moderation where the moderator can decide whether or not he want to approve the comment or not. If a comment is approved by a moderator it will not be auto-moderated again while still counting the amount of reports.</p>
<h3>Customizations</h3>
<p>By default this script should hook in just fine in most existing themes as it attaches itsself after the comment-reply link via the comment_reply_link filter.<br />
In case this does not work out you can place the flagging link manually by defining no_autostart_safe_report_comments in your themes’ functions.php file and initializing the class via <code>$safe_report_comments = new Safe_Report_Comments(false);</code>.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a custom setup via functions.php and placing the link comments callback function.</p>
<p>In functions.php:</p>
<pre><code>//flag comments plugin included in themes' functions.php - disable plugin.
define( 'no_autostart_safe_report_comments', true );
include_once( 'replace-with-path-to/safe-report-comments/safe-report-comments.php');
// make sure not to auto-attach to comment reply link
$safe_report_comments = new Safe_Report_Comments(false);

// change link layout to have a pipe prepended
add_filter( 'safe_report_comments_flagging_link', 'adjust_flagging_link' );
function adjust_flagging_link( $link ) {
    return ' | ' . $link;
}

// adjust the text to "Report abuse" rather than "Report comment"
add_filter( 'safe_report_comments_flagging_link_text', 'adjust_flagging_text' );
function adjust_flagging_text( $text ) {
    return 'Report abuse';
}
</code></pre>
<p>In your custom comment callback function used by wp_list_comments: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_comments place the following action which will print the link.</p>
<pre><code><?php do_action( 'comment_report_abuse_link' ); ?> 
</code></pre>
<p>A possible callback function could look like this:</p>
<pre><code>function mytheme_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
    $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; ?>
    <li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="li-comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
        <div id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
            <div class="comment-author vcard">
                <?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='48',$default='<path_to_url>' ); ?>
                <?php printf(__('<cite class="fn">%s</cite> <span class="says">says:</span>'), get_comment_author_link()) ?>
            </div>
            <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
            <em><?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.') ?></em>
            <br />
        <?php endif; ?>
        <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ) ?>"><?php printf(__('%1$s at %2$s'), get_comment_date(),  get_comment_time()) ?></a><?php edit_comment_link(__('(Edit)'),'    ','') ?></div>

        <?php comment_text() ?>

        <div class="reply">
            <?php comment_reply_link(array_merge( $args, array('depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth']))) ?>
        </div>
        <div class="report-abuse">
            <?php do_action( 'comment_report_abuse_link' ); ?>
        </div>
    </div>
    <?php
}
</code></pre>
<p>Furthermore there are various actions and filters within the script to allow easy alteration of implemented behavior. Please see inline documentation.</p>
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<p>Automatic mode implementation currently does not work with threaded comments in the last level of threading. As the script attaches itself to the comment_reply which is not displayed once the maximum threading level is reached the abuse link is missing at this point. As a workaround set the threading level higher than the likely amount of threading depth.</p>

Thanks for this plugin as spammers are trying to find their way in on a very active site, users help me find them. Much is appreciated.

Thanks a lot for this plugin


This plugin is a great addition to a moderator’s tool chest. It effectively allows users to report comments saving you time finding spammers and inappropriate comments. A recent update showing responses to threaded comments also helps authors understand how readers respond to their posts. The plugin author is helpful and responsive to feedback. Thank you for maintaining a simple yet powerful plugin!
