wpDiscuz – Report and Flagging Addon GPL Overview:

Install the PRE-ACTIVATED WPDISZCUZ core plugin first otherwise the addons will NOT function

Flagging a comment tells admins that a comment requires moderator attention. This addon comes with complete package of very useful functions and tools, which automatically moderates all comments based on number of flags and down votes (dislikes). In other words, website visitors will help you moderate bad comments. Those will be automatically unapproved or trashed once the maximum number of flags and dislikes is reached. Moreover, it allows visitors to report comments choosing bad comment category and writing some description/reason. Addon keeps you informed by email notifications about new comment reports and new auto-moderated comments.
