Overview

This plugin gives your visitors the possibility to report a comment as inappropriate. After a set threshold is reached the comment is put into moderation where the moderator can decide whether or not he want to approve the comment or not. If a comment is approved by a moderator it will not be auto-moderated again while still counting the amount of reports.

By default this script should hook in just fine in most existing themes as it attaches itsself after the comment-reply link via the comment_reply_link filter.
In case this does not work out you can place the flagging link manually by defining no_autostart_safe_report_comments in your themes’ functions.php file and initializing the class via $safe_report_comments = new Safe_Report_Comments(false);.
