The discussion revolves around a feature request to allow topic owners to approve replies to their topics. Dinakar explains that this feature is necessary to reduce the workload of moderators by giving trusted members the option to approve comments in their posts. IAmGav points out that this feature is not currently available, and Dinakar decides to request it. However, codinghorror notes that this is unlikely to happen due to Discourse’s lack of per-topic permissions. As an alternative, Stephen suggests extending the Private Replies plugin, which Dinakar finds to be the closest solution to his use case.
Hi, I’m building a platform where a specific moderation feature is required to reduce our workload.
We want discussion creators to approve the comments they get, i.e only after the approval of admin/moderator/the actual post creator/owner the comment will be displayed.
Due to the nature of work we right now have to verify each and every comment we guess this will reduce our workload if trusted members are given an option to approve comments in their post. Kinda like me being able to delete the bad comments in my facbeook post, only here I get to approve it as well.
