On moderation, the docs say this:
Anyone with a user account will be able to moderate comments. This lets people assign a score to a comment on how good they think the comment is or how visible they think it should be.
Do you really mean anyone? Or is there a way, as the site administrator, to tweak that? This is the 'who moderates the moderators' question? If the flamers and trolls are themselves abusing the moderation system, is there a way to stop that?
I ask because the site I have long thought about starting will, most likely, attract a lot of people who are directly opposed to the site's goals. I will have more trolls than users. I'm trying to find a blog/cms that will help me deal with possibility.
Thanks for any input.
Comments
"moderate comments" /can/ be tweaked
the docs aren't up to date regarding comment moderation. comment.module defines several permissions (comment_perm()), among them "moderate comments" (the others are "access comments", "post comments", "administer comments", "post comments without approval", "administer moderation"). this means you can assign all these rights to a limited user group only.
just curious: what kind of site will this be that attract[s] a lot of people who are directly opposed to the site's goals?
Drupal CVS
If you are using Drupal CVS, that is.
docs are current
the docs do discuss the new comment moderation functions. see this book page. docs could be clearer/easier as always.
Trollers
There are trollers on every site. Even seemingly benign ones. It's amazing.
