This is a feature rich module, intended for the control/flagging of content/comments and also an automated watchlist controller.
The features are without a doubt what convinced me that this was the right flagging module for me. It allows you the ability to define by role who can flag, to control messages sent to people that are flagged, to categorize the flagged content, to choose how many flags before the content is pulled, and to even create a watchlist for auto removing content. Of course all of this is moderated and can even allow for instant pulling of content if desired or replacing content that was pulled.
No real complaints here. There are a lot of configs and it can be a little overwhelming for new users like myself, but it isn't that hard once you get a system down. I think of it as a building over time type setup. I don't know all the terms or words that I want to ban, the categories of flagging reasons, or anything like that. I plan to add the obvious now and build up a list as my users force me to. This module is perfect for that and is built to grow as you need it.
One thing I would change, would be the default categories. I didn't care much for things like "User said mean things". I don't know, it just sound silly. I would like to see that reworked so that right out of the box you get some serious sounding reasons that work to eliminate things like Racism, Adult Content, Inappropriate remarks, and so forth. I just think the wording needs tweaking more than anything. Of course you are expected to make your own, so it really doesn't matter and certainly isn't a complaint.
I tried a couple of flagging modules and this one is simply awesome.
You can authorize certain trusted roles who get to hide content immediately when they flag it as well as the number of flags required from other (anonymous or non-trusted roles) for content to get hidden.
You can set which types of content can be flagged. You can define your own categories/reasons for flagging along with associated descriptions and notification messages that are sent when content is flagged.
But some of the coolest things are to do with how administrators can respond to flagged content. They have the options to allow the content, remove the content, send a warning and allow it, send a warning and remove it, or ban the user outright.
The system tracks these warnings, so you can see how many times the poster has been warned before to know when you should be banning someone.
There wasn't a lot of documentation, but it is set up so sensibly that it is still easy to use.
Note: I installed 5.x-2.x-dev so I'm not sure if the earlier versions have all these features.
