Moderate Listings

Moderation is a form of quality control that can pay enormous dividends when implemented effectively. Indeed, many marketplaces have seen content curation as key to increasing the appeal of their products and services.

Likewise, Marketplacekit is strictly against any kind of bullying, theft or infringement. Keeping this in mind, Marketplacekit has an add-on called "Moderate Listings" pre-installed for every user.

Benefits:

1. Decrease the chances of Fraud:

On Marketplacekit, the users can use the "Moderate Listings" addon to flag users who are trying to sell fake products and services.

2. Spam Detection and Deletion:

The listings moderated by the users can help the marketplace admins to detect spam and delete them and even block such users.

Who should use this addon?
This addon is useful for those marketplace owners who want to filter out the users with bad intentions, who are just there to scam people. This addon also helps the users of the site to be able to recognize the fraudulent people on the site and report them to the site owner.

Details
Listing moderation is vital for setting a tone for the marketplace and ensuring that all products available are up to a certain standard - both in terms of what they are selling and how they are presented. It also helps by detecting fraudulent or deceptive posting that can undo a lot of the good work a marketplace owner has put into creating a platform worth visiting, through quality content moderation.

Why use this?
This add-on allows the user to report listing if they find it inappropriate, spam or a duplicate of another listing or product. Besides these, the user can also add custom report types.

Use Cases:

1. It gives the customers a chance to report the listing if they find it inappropriate in any sense.
2. It can also be used to detect and avoid fraud and scams.
3. It will eventually lead to a safer browsing experience for all users.
