Trust levels and moderation

Trust levels and moderation

Trust levels

OF_Trust recomputes a user's trust level from their post count and account age. Levels gate who can create threads, attach media, and access restricted rooms.

Thresholds are configurable in OForum, Settings, Trust Thresholds.

phpOF_Trust::get_level( int $user_id ): int;
OF_Trust::recalculate( int $user_id ): int;

Permissions API

phpOF_Permissions::can_post( int $user_id, int $room_id ): bool;
OF_Permissions::can_moderate( int $user_id ): bool;
OF_Permissions::is_ip_banned( string $ip ): bool;

Moderation actions

All moderation actions write to wp_of_mod_log with the actor ID, target, action, and timestamp.

• Report queue: flagged posts collect in wp_of_reports until a moderator triages them.
• Shadow ban: a shadow-banned user sees their posts normally, but everyone else sees nothing. OF_Moderation::shadow_ban( int $user_id ).
• IP ban: blocks an IP in wp_of_ip_bans.
• Audit log: bans, unbans, deletions, pins, and closes all log to the moderation table.

Spam and rate limits

• OF_Spam runs content through a simple spam check (configurable keywords + Akismet hand-off if installed).
• OF_Rate_Limit throttles repeat posting from the same user/IP.
