 * Hi I have been using the moderation plugin on my site. However, I have recently
   started getting a ‘Deprecated’ error message.
 * The error message refers to a the return value of new by reference being deprecated
   in bpModeration.php on line 118.
 * Could you please advise how I can fix this as I really need this working again
   on the site.
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Hannah

 * I’m with you on this one. I get the same message amongst a load more:
 * Strict Standards: Non-static method bpModeration::get_istance() should not be
   called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /usr/local/www/
   apache22/dpals2014/data/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bp-moderation/bpModLoader.
   php on line 81
 * and the following 3 methods have the same error message:
 * pModLoader::load_class()
    bpModLoader::load_class() bpModDefaultContentTypes::
   init()

 * I also get Fatal error: func_get_args(): Can’t be used as a function parameter
   in /home/aaron843/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-moderation/bpModLoader.php
   on line 119
 * This plugin has not been updated since July 2013, so don’t hold your breath. 
   I’m not sure how much time has to pass before a plugin is officially considered
   abandoned by WP, but maybe someone could take it over?
