Turn on member flagging for an Experience Cloud site so community members can report inappropriate posts, comments, files, and messages, and so moderators can act on them. Do this in Experience Workspaces for the site.
- Open the site's Administration workspace
In Experience Workspaces for your site, go to Administration, then Preferences. This is where the member-flagging toggle lives.
- Allow members to flag content
Enable the "Allow members to flag content" setting and save. Members now see a flag option in the action menu on posts, comments, files, and messages.
- Assign at least one moderator
Give the moderator permissions (such as Moderate Experience Cloud Feeds) to the users who will review reports, so flagged items have an owner.
- Review flagged items in Moderation
From the Moderation Home tab, open flagged items and either remove the flag to keep the content or delete the post or comment.
- Add moderation rules for the obvious cases
Create content rules to block or flag banned keywords and links automatically, so member flags are reserved for judgment calls.
The core preference that exposes the flag action to community members; off by default.
Users need a moderation permission to see and act on the flagged-items queue.
Optional rules that block, replace, review, or flag content by keyword or link as it is posted.
Configure whether moderators get notified when content is flagged so response time stays short.
- Flagging does nothing without assigned moderators; flags accumulate unreviewed if no one owns the queue.
- A flag does not hide or delete content on its own. Only a moderator action or a moderation rule changes what members see.
- Member flagging covers community content. It is unrelated to custom Flag checkbox fields you build on standard objects.
