Allow Users to Flag Inappropriate Content

Allow Users to Flag Inappropriate Content

You can enable users to help you moderate ideas and comments.

• Click the icon in the bottom left corner.
• Click the "General" tab
• Click "feedback forums"
• Scroll down to "Allow users to flag inappropriate content"
• Click “Enable” to turn on the feature
• Then, click “Edit” and you can edit the settings

Set the Conditions:

• Adaptive Response: The more supporters an idea has the more times it has to be flagged before the action is taken. This helps prevent one or two disgruntled people from flagging a popular idea.
• When X Number of Users Flag: This allows you to stipulate how many users must flag content before the action is taken.

For the actions, you can set it to remove the idea or comment from public view until an admin approves it, or you can opt to leave it published and simply notify admins of the flag.

Note: If a user flags an idea that an admin has responded to or already approved, no action will be taken. This is because the system sees the idea as approved since an admin has responded to it.
