will be posted to.

To disable the plugin click "Deactivate" in the Admin CP, to completely remove
the plugin and and all of it's database modifications click Uninstall and then

Overview
When a post is reported, if the plugin is enabled a new thread will be created under the specified forum ID (can be changed under the plugin's settings in the Admin CP) by the user who reported the post containing a bit of information about the report such as the reason, the thread's link, the forum in which the thread is located and the posts contents at time of being reported.

This plugin will NOT override the reports in the Moderator CP or the unread reports notification on the board index, they are completely separate. This plugin is merely designed to automatically create a discussion thread so staff may collaborate about the report and decide what course of action to take.
