Hi everyone,
I am putting some ideas together for a social site. I can see at some point problems with people requesting comments/blogs etc to be removed (defamation, libel, legal etc). I was wondering if there is a module which will allow me as admin to 'redact' parts of a blog/comment either permanently or temporarily until an investigation happens. Ideally, it would keep a log of why for people to see).
I would like to keep things open as much as possible so leaving a blog with relevant parts blacked out would be preferable to removing the whole thing.
Thanks,
Paul.
Comments

Just edit whatever you want removed, and unpublish it.

Hi, I want to have the text
Hi,
I want to have the text available and left in the comment/blog as I only want to temporarily remove it (at first) so I have the option to re-enable the text later. It will also be better to have the 'redacted' style their so people can see that text has been removed.
Thanks,
Paul.
Filters
I don't believe there's a specific module to do this, but you should be able to make your own filter with flexifilter that uses regex to hide text behind certain tags. Or if you want to use something like a spoiler tag you can use spoiler.
Spoiler
Hi,
Thanks for the advice. I think the spoiler is very similar to what I want but I don't want people to highlight and see the text. I need a way to cover the text just like the spoiler but it must not be even in the source. I am going to have a look at the spoiler module as I might be able to do a simple mod to not have the text produced or replace it with X's underneath.
Thanks for the pointer.
Thanks,
Paul.
Use flexifilter.
