moderation

Hello world,

I have written a small module for maintaining a whitelist of anonymous users who are allowed to skip comment approval queue based on name/email combination, with possibility of automatic add/delete on admin publishing/deleting comments.

I have some doubts regarding whether this should ever be released. Essentially, they boil down to guessing if:

a) nobody really needs this;

b) on the contrary, it is going to be declared 'duplicate';

Hi!

According to this information about abandoned groups I'm asking for permission to manage the Drupal group Bulgaria

I contacted the group manager huss a month ago to join forces and expand the group, but there was no reaction. Then I posted more than 3 weeks ago to the Drupal group Bulgaria the discussion about the maintenance of the group and wrote him using the contact form to respond at least to the post. But still no reaction.

Hace 3 semanas intento contactar a @sergiochavez, actual administrador de éste grupo. Lamentablemente, al parecer no hay respuesta de el.

@sergiochavez, si todavía estás interesado en ser administrador y tienes un plan para éste grupo, por favor confirma aquí.

Si no hay respuesta positiva hasta dentro de 2 semanas (24 de Enero), se designará un nuevo administrador. No hay que ser un experto, solamente hay que tener interés por difundir el grupo localmente de la forma que mejor le parezca.

Como se indica en http://groups.drupal.org/node/25688, hace casi 2 meses que se ha intentado contactar a @SqyD, actual administrador de éste grupo. Lamentablemente, al parecer no hay respuesta de el.

@SqyD, si todavía estás interesado en ser administrador y tienes un plan para éste grupo, por favor confirma aquí.

Si no hay respuesta positiva hasta dentro de 2 semanas (30 de Octubre), se designará un nuevo administrador. No hay que ser un experto, solamente hay que tener interés por difundir el grupo localmente de la forma que mejor le parezca.

While the more expansive workflow features that were proposed did not make it in time for code freeze, we still have an opportunity during the current "code slush" period to make a few key alterations to the underlying Drupal database. This will enable further development in Contrib of comprehensive workflow and content moderation modules, with an eye towards D8. However, time is running out. After October 15, all hope is lost.

This module implements major features of Slashdot moderation and comment system. I made a few attempts previously with various hacks/modules, but this module is very mature and fully compatible with latest VotingAPI. I have not encountered any issues using this module.

What it does:
Transforms comment controls to Slasdot type (thresholding).
Displays each comment slashdot-type.
Hides comments below threshold. Hidden comments can be uncollapsed by a click.
Provides slashdot moderation system (troll, interesting, insightful, funny, etc).

En 3 años la actividad de este grupo a sido mínima y en vista de que estamos buscando congregar antes que dividir, opino que:
1. este grupo sea archivado: nadie más pueda unirse y el mensaje de bienvenida dirija a los visitantes al grupo Spanish
2. a los post se les agregue el tag: Latin America, para hacer referencia al grupo donde estaban
3. Se invite a los miembros de este grupo a unirse al grupo [[http://groups.drupal.org/spanish|Spanish]]

The upcoming Drupal 7 update brings with it a great opportunity to provide better support in Core for advanced workflows with content moderation, but the code freeze is fast approaching and this opportunity may pass us by. I encourage all developers to check out Support Revisions in Different States in the Drupal issue queue and lend a hand.

Why you should care?

I'm building a social network, and I'm wondering how best to minimize the amount of effort I need to put into moderation, while keeping the site from being taken over by trolls and spammers. I'm looking at "troll", "ignore user", and Mollom. I'd love to hear what combinations have proven successful, and any other techniques you'd recommend. I'm planning to start with an invitation-only beta, where people pass invitations on to their friends, and hopefully that will lead to a good core group of legitimate users.

Thanks for any insight,

Ln

I'm pushing for Core to support having different revisions of a node in different defined states. This would finally allow nodes to be moderated effectively and would provide a greatly improved foundation for modules like Workflow and Rules to tap into. Please take a look at the feature request and join in the discussion:
