Our analysis
AI-assistedZeno Report Comments is a WordPress plugin that allows visitors to report inappropriate comments. When a comment receives a certain number of reports, it is sent to moderation for review by a moderator, who can then choose to approve or reject it. Approved comments will not be subject to auto-moderation again, although they will continue to count towards the report total.
This plugin is suitable for websites that want to manage comment quality and ensure a safer environment for discussions. It is particularly useful for sites with high user interaction where comment moderation is necessary.
Best for: This plugin suits websites that require comment moderation to maintain community standards.

From the developer
Marcel Pol's own description of Zeno Report Comments, lightly tidied.
This plugin gives your visitors the possibility to report a comment as inappropriate. After a set threshold is reached the comment is put into moderation where the moderator can decide whether or not he want to approve the comment or not. If a comment is approved by a moderator it will not be auto-moderated again while still counting the amount of reports.
This plugin is a fork of safe-report-comments and has some features incorporated from crowd-control (a different fork).
Compatibility
This plugin is compatible with ClassicPress.
Contributions
This plugin is also available in Codeberg.
Known issues
Automatic mode implementation currently does not work with threaded comments in the last level of threading. As the script attaches itself to the comment_reply which is not displayed once the maximum threading level is reached the abuse link is missing at this point. As a workaround set the threading level higher than the likely amount of threading depth.
