Abusive messages reporting - moderation feature in Jforum

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi
i would like to know whether there is a feature in Jforum where users can "report" or "flag" posts as abusive if there are any posts. Also is there any feature where administrator can see these flagged posts and make a decision with these flagged messages.


Thanks,
GregJhonson

Unfortunately, there is no such feature built in.

However, using the templates it's not too hard to implement your own. The quick way is to just use a mail to link with the subject= parameter set to the offending link.. e.g.:

<#assign startStr = ""/>
<#if (start > 0)><#assign startStr = "${start}/"/></#if>
<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=${JForumContext.encodeURL("/posts/list/${startStr}${post.topicId}")}#${post.id}" rel="nofollow">Report this Post</a>

Another alternative is to have a custom "post" form for a common "abuse" forum that gets called by the "Report" link. This could be a servlet or Javascript based HTML only form that would pre-populate the form with the required info (passed via the URL parameters). The action and hidden fields of this form would be the same as the normal post to this forum form contains.
