Report Messages

Better Messages allows users to report inappropriate messages for moderation review.

How it works​

When enabled, users can report messages they find inappropriate, offensive, or in violation of your site's rules. Reported messages are flagged and sent to the admin Messages Viewer where moderators can review the content and take appropriate action. This gives your community a self-moderation mechanism while keeping administrators informed about potential issues.

Key capabilities​

  • Users can report any message in their conversations
  • Reported messages appear in the admin Messages Viewer
  • Moderators can review and take action on reports
  • Helps maintain community standards through user-driven moderation

How to enable​

Navigate to WP Admin → Better Messages → Settings → Moderation.
