Moderating Flagged Content

Community sites allow users to flag content they find offensive. Any content that is flagged in this way:

  • Is immediately withdrawn from view for ordinary users

  • Is visually flagged in the All content tab of the Dashboard's Content Moderation view:

  • Shows any complaints as cause for flagging in the Flagged tab of the Dashboard's Content Moderation view:

  • Is added to the Flagged tab of the Dashboard's Content Moderation view:

The moderator can either:

  • Restore a flagged item by clicking Restore if it does not breach editorial policy, or

  • Delete the item by clicking Reject. This action requires confirmation:

Restoring an item removes its flag and makes it visible again. However, its moderation history can be revealed by mouse-hovering on the View Moderation Log in the bottom right-hand corner of the flagged item:
