Report Comments Plugin for WordPress

This plugin provides a way for visitors to report inappropriate comments on a WordPress powered site. It does this by automatically adding a link to each comment, which (after asking for confirmation) notifies the administrator by email. There are several options available, including customization of the text, the email message generated (you can choose to include the post title, url, date, author, etc..), and more.

Troubleshooting

Some servers are configured to only allow PHP to send mail to an email address on the server itself. If you do not receive email sent from this script, try using an email address on the same domain.
