JomSocial Reporting

By default, any sort of content reporting (eg:- Report profile/group/video/etc) won't send any notification emails to the administrator at an instance. This is due to Jomsocial's adoption of passive moderation policy (as opposed to active moderation).
Actions will be taken only after a number of reports (can be set in JomSocial's backend configuration) are made by users. Only then, the notification email for the report will be sent.

It is recommended that the cron is running smoothly so that the notification emails and contents can be properly deleted. For more information regarding setting up cron job/scheduled task, please click here.
