Shortens activity updates and comments longer than a set number of characters, which keeps the stream readable and discourages wall-of-text spam.
BuddyPress: Mark Activity With Blocked Words as Spam
Automatically marks activity updates and comments that contain words from your blocklist as spam, so they never appear in the stream.
Close Comments After a Set Number
Closes the comment form on a post once it has reached the number of approved comments you choose, keeping threads manageable.
Comment Notifications to a Per-Language Moderator
Sends comment moderation emails to a different moderator depending on the language of the post, using WPML, Polylang or each post's language box, so every comment reaches someone who reads it.
Content Statistics Widget
Summarizes published, draft and scheduled items for every post type, plus media files and comments awaiting moderation.
Daily Comment Limit per Visitor
Holds comments for moderation once a single IP address has posted more than a set number of comments in 24 hours, which stops comment floods and spam runs.
Daily Digest of Comments Awaiting Moderation
Replaces the one-email-per-comment moderation notices with a single daily email listing every comment waiting for approval, with a link to the moderation screen.
Delete Comments Left Unmoderated for 90 Days
Once a day, permanently deletes comments that have been waiting in the moderation queue for more than 90 days, along with the names, emails and IP addresses they contain.
Email Alert for Events Awaiting Review
Emails your events editor whenever an event is submitted for review (for example through Community Events or by a contributor), with a direct link to approve it.
Email Commenters When Their Comment Is Approved
Lets people know by email when the comment they left has been approved and is live, with a link to it.
Hide Comments in the Admin From Users Who Cannot Moderate
Removes the Comments menu, admin bar bubble and screen for users without moderation rights, such as authors and contributors.
Hold Comments Written in All Capitals
Sends comments that are mostly in capital letters to the moderation queue instead of publishing them straight away.
JavaScript Check Against Comment Spam Bots
Adds a hidden field to the comment form that only a real browser running JavaScript fills in; comments without it go to the spam queue instead of moderation.
Let Visitors Report Inappropriate Comments
Adds a "Report" link to each comment; moderators get an email on the first report and the comment is held for review after three reports.
Post Comments Without Reloading the Page
Submits the comment form in the background and shows the new comment (or the "awaiting moderation" note) right away, instead of reloading the page.
Remove IP Addresses From Comment Notification Emails
Strips commenters' IP addresses and host names from the new comment and moderation emails WordPress sends to authors and administrators, so personal data does not pile up in inboxes.
Reply to Commenters From Moderation Emails
Adds the commenter's email as the Reply-To of comment moderation emails, so you can answer or ask a question just by pressing Reply in your inbox.
Send Comment Moderation Emails to Editors
Sends "please moderate" comment emails to every editor as well as the site admin, so comments are approved faster.
Send Comment Moderation Emails to More People
Sends "comment awaiting moderation" emails to extra addresses, such as your community manager, besides the site admin and post author.
Send Comments With Too Many Links to Spam
Marks a comment as spam when it contains more links than you allow, catching most link-dropping spam before it reaches the moderation queue.
Suspend User Accounts
Adds a "Suspend this account" checkbox to the user edit screen that logs the person out everywhere and blocks them from logging in until it is unticked.
bbPress: Email Moderators About Posts Waiting for Approval
Emails forum moderators and keymasters when a topic or reply lands in the pending queue (for example from Akismet or moderation rules), so nothing waits for days.
