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
