For people coming here, this plugin is mostly unmaintained.
There is an older fork Crowd Control, which was mostly rewritten in JavaScript, then was abandoned. I see it is being maintained again.
There is a fork Zeno Report Comments, that has the old code mostly left intact, with bugfixes and features added.
]]>It would be nice to be able to translate phrases in this plugin.
There are already several patches available for older versions:

Hi, is there any developer around? I’ve added a localization fix, see the github. If you point me to the right URL, I would be more than glad to give you a pull request.
]]>Did I got it all right, set it right ?
Reporting comments makes it disabled for all visitors ? It should never work this way.
Activated the plugin but see no report link on comments, can’t even find any setting at admin backend either. Can anyone help get me out of the dark? It feels like nothing is there.
]]>Hi,
I modified the code to allow translation (and edited french translation)
You can apply following patch to allow translations in your code.
Thanx in advance for new release with this patch ??

Nice plugin but there is one major flaw that i hope you could fix.
If i set for example threshold to report comment at 3 (just an example) if a user click on “report comment”, once he refresh the page, the button appears again so he can click on again and again making for one user very easy to abuse the system by clicking and refreshing till the comment disapear for report.
Could you fix that so that one user can report only one time a comment, no matter if he refreshes, log out/LOGIN, clear cookies etc.
Thanks

At this point I see an error echoed immediately afterwards reading “Wrong usage of print_flagging_link().”
Could you tell me:
1. Why is this being generated here?
2. How do I stop it?
3. How do I manually call the function in a template to get the “Report Abuse” link outputted?
Thanks.

]]>I’m doing some optimizations on a site, and was hoping to get the JS to be “non-render-blocking”. I changed $in_footer to true on line 121 of safe-report-comments.php.

If this isn’t an issue, is it possible to add this into the next version of the plugin?
Thanks!

hello guys thanks for this great tool.
how could i remove the arrow? since i moved my reply button the arrow between reply button and report comment link is looking in the wrong direction. i couldnt find the arrow in the code. wher can i find and remove it?
thank you very much

]]>Hello! Great and smooth plugin, has been easy to implement and style on my client’s site, https://www.davisvanguard.org/ where it is currently running. I have two questions on the plugin, both of which seem to have been asked before in some form, though I have not found a resolution:
1. Moderator Notifications: I saw the method of editing the functions.php file to have a moderator notified once a comment is bumped back to Pending, but I wanted to learn if there is a method for the moderator to be notified any time a report is made. This way, the moderator has the chance to proactively log in and deal with the comment if need be without waiting for reports to hit the threshold.
2. Max Thread Level Issue: Comments at the max thread level seem to still be having an issue, since they are tied to the Reply link. Is there a way to break the report link away from the reply link and then add it to the comments.php template?
Any information you have for either of these would be much appreciated!
]]>Hi there,
I have noticed a couple of strange things with the plugin which is great by the way.
1. A user can report their own comment for abuse.
2. Even after a comment has been re-approved by a user, the same user can report it again. Although nothing happens on the back end it is not until the second report that the button is vanishing.
Kind Regards

How ever, I would like to load scripts only where needed; this case on single.php, where comments are.
I was able to do this on main site with <?php if (is_single()) { ?> -rule in the header, (I know, that’s not the most best way to do it), and all works fine. But with subdomains this does not work fully, cause I’m out of ideas, how to link correctly plugins ajaxurl.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Did you ever figure out displaying the “Report Comment” link on the last level of threaded comments? Previous thread regarding this matter titled, “Not showing on “children” reply comments”.

]]>I’m using WordPress Liveblog which makes use of a custom comment type ‘liveblog’. Can I use the Safe Report Comments on liveblog comments (also called liveblog entries)?
]]>Hi there,
fantastic plugin and I have set up an email as per your “notify the moderator” thread and all is working well.
However I was wondering if there was some way of showing who has actually reported the abuse either when the reported comment appears in pending or if that is too onerous, in the email notification.
People have to be registered for my site anyway but it would be really userful to have the person’s username, email address and IP address included somewhere just in case someone is reporting comments regularly and I need to understand why.
Kind Regards
KatieKat
]]>My comments are structured as follows, in comments.php:
<?php foreach($comments as $comment) : ?>
//lots of code here
<?php comment_text() ?>
//lots of code here
<?php do_action( 'comment_report_abuse_link' ); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>(I don’t actually have a reply link at all, because it’s a very customized theme.)
I get the message “Wrong usage of print_flagging_link().”
When I added the rest of the code to functions.php, I just got the message twice instead of once.
I’m probably also going to have to customize the html of the link.
Is there another way to construct the Flag link?
Thanks!

]]>This plugin does not work if the Site Address and URL Address are different. When they are different the plugin uses the home_url to find the admin-ajax.php file when it should be using the site_url.
You can fix this by replacing this (line 117):
$ajaxurl = home_url( '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' );
with this:
$ajaxurl = site_url( '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' );
Hope this helps, and hopefully this fix can get worked into the next version.
