Block, Suspend, Report for BuddyPress

Descrição

Block, Suspend, Report for BuddyPress is a must-have plugin for EVERY BuddyPress installation.

For a full list of features, documentation, screenshots and videos, head to the plugin page.

Each tool is explained further below.

Block

The Block tool allows your members to block another member. They simply click on a ‘block’ button, either on another member’s profile, or on the member list. Once blocked, neither member can send a message to the other. Each member’s profile pages become inaccessible, and display a simple message. Neither can view each other’s activity updates, or replies, and neither can send a friend request to one another.

  • A simple solution to deal with disputes between members.
  • Prevents escalation of abusive or unacceptable conduct between your members.
  • Lets your members deal with disputes by themselves, saving you time.

Suspend

The Suspend tool allows you, as an administrator, to suspend a member. Available only to administrators is a ‘suspend’ button on your member’s profiles, the member directory, and the admin users screen. Once clicked by you, all of that member’s sessions are terminated, and they will be unable to log back in, instead seeing a custom message explaining the situation.

  • Quickly deals with members who have breached your acceptable standards policies.
  • Allows you to disable an account – until now, you would have to delete the account, or mark them as a spammer.
  • Keeps their profile, uploads, messages and other assets ready, should you decide they can return to the site.
  • See all your suspended members from the back end.

Report

Flag inappropriate, abusive, or otherwise unacceptable behaviour to the site administrator. Each member’s profile now incorporates a ‘report’ button. This creates a new report, which administrators can see in the backend. You can specify a report type, similar to social media networks such as Facebook, to designate that report as ‘spam’ or ‘abusive’ and so on. You can set Block, Suspend, Report to email you when a new report is received.

  • Gives your members peace of mind that the site is open to moderation.
  • Allows you to deal with any report in your own time, without having to respond to internal messages or other notifications.
  • Set a threshold to automatically suspend a user when a number of reports are received.
  • Mark new reports as read/unread
  • Mark reports as unsubstantiated
  • See number of unread reports from the menu or the dashboard

Block, Suspend, Report for BuddyPress Premium Editions

The Premium editions adds the following features:

  • Pre-approval system for new activities and group posts
  • A ‘Latest Reports’ box in the dashboard
  • A ‘Most Blocked’ box, showing your site’s worst offenders
  • Integration with Paid Memberships Pro – enable blocking and reporting for certain levels only.
  • Assign a role to a suspended user
  • Automatically receive new features as they are built
  • Ability to add custom CSS to match your theme’s styling perfectly

Plus, a super-charged report system:

  • You can allow a huge range of content to be reported and moderated, not just members themselves:

WordPress Comments
Activity Updates
Activity Comments
Groups
Private Messages
Forum Topics
Forum Replies
rtMedia Uploads

  • Create your own report types, or edit the default ones.
  • Add your own reports from the backend, ideal for when your members flag content directly to you via a private message or similar.
  • Whitelist any user roles that cannot be reported
  • Blacklist members so they can’t send reports (ideal for malicious complaints)
  • Quickly moderate (hide) any activity from the dashboard
  • Add your own moderators who have front-end access to the reporting system
  • Let your moderators deal with reports, suspensions, activity moderation

CSS has to be added to make it look somewhat presentable on BuddyBoss… And it is throwing errors now, which I assume is because it hasnt been updated…

So far I am thrilled with the plugin. It works beautifully on my website. Does exactly as advertised: allows my website users to report offensive or abusive content, and gives them the option to block anyone they want (except for the website administrator of course). The plugin is pretty simple to use and works great! Absolutely love it!

I came across this plugin because I needed a way for my users to block other users from seeing comments on my blog posts. At the time, I could not find a single plugin that works for this purpose. There are several out there that allows users to block others from seeing their activity comments on the Buddypress sites. However, it doesn’t work with blog posts comments. I exchanged a few emails with Ben (plugin developer) who tried to help me figure out the problem. He came to a conclusion that the plugin does not have such a feature at the time, but he will look into it and maybe add it to a future update. A day later, I got an email that he got it added as a PRO feature. I purchased the Premium version and VIOLA! It Works! Simple as that. 5 stars for having a plugin that worked flawlessly, and another 5 stars for having a developer with a customer service that’s next to none. After several days of searching for the perfect solution, Ben got me my answer. Thank you.

Buddypress, Block, Suspend, Report for BuddyPress’e benzersiz işlevler eklemek, eklentisi ile sosyal topluluğumuza muazzam bir güç kattı. Artık kullanıcılarımız daha mutlu ve huzurlu. Kullanıcılarımızın belirli sayıda uygunsuz davranışı bildirmesi sonucunda sistem benim yerime o kullanıcının hesabını otomatik olarak askıya alabilir. Bu mükemmel bir sistem adamı.

I downloaded the plugin with a free trial for the Professional version. After playing with it, I send an email to Ben asking how to prevent a member from seeing that he has been blocked by others. First Ben said that I need to find a developer for modification on HIS OWN PLUGIN when I believe he was able to do it himself with small custom work or snippet. When I told him this, he falsely accused me of doing it for free when he failed to give me a quote for custom work that I asked for. He took our conversation too personally that he decided to unilaterally cancel my free trial and subscription saying that he could not support what I am asking. Huh? This is an example of bad customer service when the developer allows his emotion to cloud his judgment. My advice is to avoid his plugin if the developer can’t handle customers’ simple requests without getting too personal about it. If Ben can’t do my request, it should leave up to me to decide if I want to cancel the subscription unless I find another developer to do the modification work on the plugin. Not up to Ben.
