Hi,

I wanted to see how we could communicate amongst Admin and Moderators and found Whispers and Staff notes.

Could anyone clarify a few things for me?

- Whispers is part of the Settings and Staff Notes is a plugin?

- Whispers is for adding notes to posts while Staff Notes is for for adding a note to a user profile? ie. if I don’t approve a user, I can leave a Staff Note in the user’s profile for others to see why this user has not been approved? and if I see something dodgy in a posts I can add a whisper such as “do we take language used in this post as acceptable?”.

- How can we find all the whispers left? If I start a shift I want to see what the previous moderator has “whispered”.

- Are both seen ONLY by Admin and Moderators?

Thanks.
