User Review Moderation
Registered AMO users can post reviews for add-ons along with a rating. They can also flag any other user's review for moderation in case they think it's inappropriate.
Reviews flagged for moderation are not immediately removed from the public site. They are added to the review moderation queue.
This queue displays all reviews pending moderation, including their author, content and rating. The text in bold below indicates the reason the user chose to flag that review for.
The Action radio buttons provide 3 moderation options for each review:
- Keep review; remove flags: The review is OK and should stay public. The moderation flags are removed.
- Skip: Don’t moderate that review now (default action). The moderation flags stay.
- Delete review: The review is not OK and should be deleted.
Once you've chosen a moderation option for one or more reviews on that page, click on the Process Reviews button for the moderation to apply.
Guiding rules
