The Moderation Queue

Open Forums Moderation in the forum’s navigation. The Forum Moderation Queue has four tabs:

Tab Shows
Pending New reports to review
Validated Reports a moderator confirmed
All Every report
Bans Members banned on this site

Each report shows the topic, who reported it, when, and the reason.

The Pending tab of the moderation queue with a spam report and the View Message, Validate, and Dismiss buttons.

Acting on a Report

  • View Message opens the topic so you can read it in context.
  • Validate confirms the report. All other pending reports on the same topic are validated too. The topic gets the Flagged badge and a notice that it was flagged as inappropriate.
  • Dismiss deletes the report and keeps the topic as it is.

A validated report offers more actions:

  • Pending moves the report back to Pending, if it was validated by mistake.
  • Ban Author bans the topic’s author from this site. See Banning Members.
  • Delete Topic deletes the topic with all its replies, reports, and subscriptions.

The Validated tab with the Pending, Dismiss, and Delete Topic buttons.

Deleting a topic can’t be undone.
