I can't really understand what this does exactly.

Do I create a forum for it to be able to create threads where users post their concerns and only they and staff can see the thread?

Anyone else looking can see threads they created or else it's just an empty forum, from what they can see?

I'm starting to see a trend on my forum where the reporting of items is being abused. Is it possible for this mod to show me who actually reported an item or am I missing something?

If you are a member of a usergroup defined as staff then this will always show you the reporter (see the screenshot).

Have not come across this MOD before, nice little gem. Thanks @Paul_M :)

[EDIT] Solved my first problem. I wasn't looking at the right settings pane. My reported items now list who reported them.

However I'm not sure why, when an item has been actioned, the message "No Reply Yet" is always displayed in the comment area. Any idea Paul?

As the main post says ;

does this mod work? I tried it on the vb4.2.3 latest version and when I display reported items I see nothing. I sent many reports, but still that page is empty!!

any idea what's going??

Edit: never mind. I had a mistake in my settings. :) got it fixed!!
