Hi,
My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has a feature for users to Report topics/replies (with an optional text field to write why it should be reported), and administrators can review all reports and act on them.
More info on the plugin homepage:

MilanIn reply to: bbpress performance1. That is simply not true. I developed many plugins for bbPress, and I always do extensive benchmarking of bbPress and various plugins, and if you have 25 plugins or if you have 5 plugins, bbPress has the same impact on WP regardless. If two websites add 0.1 seconds slowdown, you can’t blame one of the plugins for what other is doing.
2. That is completely irrelevant to loading performance. It is possible to merge all files any plugin has into one huge file. A number of files don’t have too much impact on the loading, and it is even recommended to have a lot of smaller files to help with the code organization, improve loading of what is needed when it is needed (for the most part). WordPress loads about 200 files on average for each page request, and even more on the admin side, and I have seen plugins that load 100 or more files. Size of files have more impact on performance, then the number of files. And with modern servers using SSD discs and a lot of memory, files loading is negligible.
The biggest impact of performance of any plugin has to work with the database in any way (getting posts, filtering). And yes, bbPress up to version 2.5 was not best optimized, and it was on the slower side when dealing with large topics or large forums. Version 2.6 (currently in Beta/RC stage), has significant performance improvements related to database operations, loading posts and processing them.
PHP has Opcache, and other performance related tools for a reason: PHP is not compiled, it is interpreted, and that is always a slower method for doing things, and PHP needs help to make things faster. It is a good thing to have and use Opcache or Memcached. For instance, my website without Opcache uses 60MB for PHP process on average, with Opcache that goes down to 12MB. WordPress without Opcache uses about 20MB on its own, bbPress adds about 5MB, WooCommerce adds closer to 10MB, BuddyPress around 6-7MB. Huge and complex plugins always need memory to work, you can’t expect to run 25 plugins and keep memory to a zero. That is why we have systems to optimize PHP, we have cache plugins.
Once the bbPress 2.6 is released, I will do a new benchmark to compare 2.5 to 2.6 and see how much gains are there when using bbPress with a forum having a large number of topics and replies. But, from current testing I am doing with 2.6, it is much faster than last 2.5.

MilanIn reply to: 2017 Google penalty – what to do?Do you have SEO meta tags for topics: title and description (based on the topic excerpt). Maybe the topic meta titles are not correct, it can be useful to add forum name where topic belongs too.
In reply to: bbpress future? no funding?bbPress should focus on performance, not features, it has to be flexible to expand and customise, and team working on it needs to be able to maintain the core, not solving theme issues for all possible forum features. It is the same as with WordPress, core features extended by the plugins.
A lot of forums users need basic features, and they find bbPress easy to setup and use. And, there are a lot of other features added through plugins to extended the bbPress, and users can choose what to install and use.
If you need more forum features, I can recommend my Toolbox plugin for bbPress: https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ and few more bbPress plugins you can find on my website.

Milan PetrovicIn reply to: Http 500 errorTry to find errors log on your server, because if you get error 500, that means that something is broken server side, and that usually triggers logging of the PHP error causing it. Make sure your server is configured properly to log errors (and where the errors are logged).
In reply to: bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 3bbPress 2.5 and 2.6 work fine with PHP 7. Check your server log to see which error you have there.
Hi,
My plugin ‘GD bbPress Toolbox Pro’ includes option just for that, it doesn’t require any coding. You can check more about the plugin here: GD bbPress Toolbox Pro

MilanIn reply to: Roles and Capabilities in bbPress 2.2OK, thanks!
In reply to: Roles and Capabilities in bbPress 2.2When creating new user, bbPress role is not added. I don’t have any roles plugins or anything like that. I create new Subscriber user, and it doesn’t get bbPress role. I am using bbPress 2.2.3. Is there something needed to make this work, or should it work automatically?
EDIT: OK, there is a setting to allow this, and it is disabled by default for some reason.
EDIT 2: And no luck, even with this option ON, roles are still not assigned to new users.
In reply to: GD bbPress ToolsGreat to hear that. If you notice any more problems, please let me know.
In reply to: GD bbPress ToolsNew plugin version is coming soon with the updates.
In reply to: GD bbPress ToolsAnd if you still have issues, please can you list exact steps how to reproduce problems, including what plugins you have active.
In reply to: GD bbPress ToolsI have seen that. But, as I say, all plugin features work fine (including toolbar integration) and nothing is broken in the WP with, tested with WP 3.4 Final and bbPress 2.1-r3920.
Please test it, and let me know.
In reply to: GD bbPress ToolsI have tested with WP 3.4 final, bbPress 2.1-r3920 (last from trunk), and everything is working, and not problems with edit or adding posts/pages. Maybe something was broken by bbPress with one of the trunk builds causing problem. Let me know if you have problem still.
In reply to: GD bbPress ToolsI will test this in the next few days.
In reply to: GD bbPress ToolsAll my bbPress plugins are right now on the dev server with trunk versions of WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.1. But, maybe something changed in these in the last few days, that caused the problem, so I will check my plugins again. But with the RC1 of WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.1 from last Wednesday, all my plugins were working fine.

In reply to: GD bbPress Toolbox ProGD bbPress Toolbox Pro includes all the features from my free plugins for bbPress (all 3 of them: attachments, tools and widgets). Plus, right now it has centralized panels for attachments and error logs for upload of attachments. There are some features that will go into Por plugin only, but I will continue to develop all 3 free plugins.
Reason for having Pro plugin version is that I don’t provide support for my free plugins (I can deal with bug reports, but that’s it) due to the lack of free time, and my Pro plugins users (I have 7 premium plugins) are used to having full support and expect to have extra features from Pro plugins, and that’s why I decided to make it easier: to have one plugin to replace 3 free plugins to add few new things to it and provide full support as with my other plugins.

In reply to: GD bbPress AttachmentsThis is only first version, and I have few more things planned down the road, but it needs testing for now to make sure that everything is OK. So, all bug reports and suggestions are welcome.
In reply to: "bbPress Attachments" plugin for bbpress 2.0I have create free plugin for this:
In reply to: Problem with direct topic page linksYes, but not everyone uses permalinks. For people that don’t use permalinks, all topics and reply links are broken.
