Setting Up Post Reporting

When you set up the Forum Post Reporting feature, it adds a Report button to the bottom of each post. The button lets site visitors report posts to Forum moderators. For example, users can report posts that are offensive or spam.

When a user clicks the Report button, an email notification is sent to moderators. A moderator can then view the post and decide whether to edit, delete or leave the post. See Also: Using Discussion Boards on Your Web Site

To learn about customizing the text if the email that is sent when a user clicks the Report Post button, see Sending Notifications for a Discussion Forum Activities.
