New module: Slashdot style comment system

mukhsim - September 8, 2009 - 00:15

Please see http://drupal.org/project/slashcomments for further details about this module
This is a re-post of a topic at http://groups.drupal.org/node/26195. I was advised to post new module here.

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).
Own comments stand out.

TODO:

Ajax comment moderation
Integration with Karma/Userpoints
Meta-moderation
Limited modpoints

You can download the module from my website: http://www.mukhsim.com/blog/slashdot-style-comment-moderation-drupal

Please take a look at the module and let me know what you think.

Demo site is available at: http://slashcomments.mukhsim.com/

Also, should I be releasing it into Contrib?

Max.

I recommend you to contribute your module if you really want feedback, issue queue and also free security team revisions which will make your module more reliable

for instance, as a security policy many specifications wouldn't allow the use of modules out of drupal.org or home made
