[XenCustomize] Guest Report System 2.3.1

XenCustomize Guest Report System for XenForo 2​

Let guest visitors report important content in a simple, secure, and XenForo-style way.

Guest Report System adds a native-feeling guest reporting workflow to XenForo for communities that want to accept reports from visitors who are not logged in.

It is ideal for forums and content-driven sites where guests may notice spam, abuse, broken content, or other issues, but XenForo's built-in report system would normally only work for logged-in members.

Key Benefits​

Lets guests report content without needing to register first
Feels familiar to staff by following XenForo's core report workflow closely
Gives each guest a secure private link to follow up later
Supports two-way communication between staff and guest reporters
Keeps moderation organized by grouping repeated reports for the same content into one staff report
Uses XF-style anti-spam protection on guest-facing report and reply forms

Features​

Guest report links on supported content
Guests can use a report link placed in the same general location as XenForo's normal report action, making the experience feel natural and easy to understand.

Simple guest report form
Guests can submit their name, email address, and report reason through a clean XenForo-style form.

Secure guest access link
After submitting a report, each guest receives their own secure report link so they can return later without creating an account.

Guest report portal
Guests can view staff-visible updates and reply back from their private report page.

Staff-side master report
If multiple guests report the same content, staff handle one combined report, similar to XenForo's core report system.

Separate guest participants
Each guest reporter is tracked separately, with their own email, activity, secure access link, and conversation history.

Email notifications
Guests can receive email confirmation when they submit a report, plus follow-up emails when staff send guest-visible replies or status updates.

Moderator workflow tools
Staff can assign, reassign, unassign, resolve, reject, reopen, and update reports in a workflow designed to stay close to core XenForo.

Internal and guest-visible comments
Moderators can keep internal notes private while also sending selected replies that the guest reporter can read.

Staff bar integration
Active guest reports can appear in the staff bar and moderator tools area for faster access.

Staff search and report browsing
Includes open reports, recently closed reports, and staff-facing report views for day-to-day moderation.

Support for multiple content types
The addon supports several XenForo, XFMG, and XFRM content types while keeping one consistent guest-report workflow.

Phrase-based and email-template based
Public UI text and email content are built for XenForo language customization and translation support.

XF-style public form protection
Guest-facing forms use XenForo-style CAPTCHA, submit timer checks, honeypots, flood checks, and spam service validation to reduce abuse.
