Hide the Option to Mark a Discussion/Forum Reply as “Spam”

Introduction

By default, BuddyBoss does not provide an option to hide the “Spam” action for forum replies. Using a simple CSS snippet, you can remove this option from the dropdown menu for a cleaner forum interface.

Custom Workaround

Follow the steps below to hide the “Spam” option:

1. Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
2. Under Custom Codes, enable CSS
3. Append the following:

#bbpress-forums .bs-dropdown .bbp-admin-links a.bbp-reply-spam-link { display: none; }

4. Save changes.

Note: Any modifications are considered as custom work already. Know more about our Support policy here: https://buddyboss.com/support-policy/

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: Will this prevent users from reporting spam in replies?

A: No. This only hides the “Spam” link in the admin dropdown. The backend functionality remains intact.

Q: The link is still visible after adding the CSS. What should I do?

A: Clear your site cache and browser cache. If it still appears, submit a ticket to the support team for assistance.

Q: Can I hide the spam option only for specific forums?

A: Yes. Use the forum’s unique ID in place of #bbpress-forums to target a specific forum.

Q: Does this affect mobile views?

A: Yes. This CSS snippet works across all screen sizes.
