Do we need to moderate all comments and posts? Is this to protect against spam?
ReplyDeleteHi Anne Marie, yes that would be one of the threats. Moderation would also protect against the unlikely event that sensitive data or information is inadvertently disclosed. This would give the contributor an opportunity to request that the submission is retracted and re-edited.
ReplyDeleteCan't we just give people the right to edit or delete their own posts?
ReplyDeleteThis is something we can perhaps consider as an option if the administrative effort becomes burdensome. It just gives an extra layer of protection at present and more centralised control if such mistakes are made. I believe the user has the option to edit a post or comment once it has been approved. This is certainly the type of thing we want to be discussing at this stage so that we can begin refining how we want these resources to work!
