wpDiscuz – Report and Flagging
This powerful addon enhances the comment management system by introducing an advanced flagging and reporting feature. Designed to streamline moderation, it leverages community input to automatically filter out inappropriate content based on user interaction.

The tool also enables users to report specific issues with comments through a customizable form.
