How Moderation Works with Widgets in BuddyBoss

Introduction

Moderation Widgets manage the visibility of comments, posts, and member appearances, ensuring a respectful and secure community.

These settings help maintain community integrity while safeguarding user privacy. Suspended members are automatically hidden, and blocked members remain invisible to users who choose not to interact with them.

By configuring moderation settings, admins can control member interactions and foster a positive environment.

How Moderation Works with Widgets

Latest Comments Widget

  • Suspended Members: Comments from suspended members are hidden.
  • Blocked Members: The logged-in user does not see comments from blocked members.

Members I’m Following Widget

This behavior also applies to:
