Moderating Content

In This Section

• Moderators review content and make decisions about its appearance to other people. This can include approving new content posts, editing or deleting content, moving it from one space to another, and deciding who can edit.
• Content that can be moderated includes discussions, documents, private messages, blog posts, and announcements.
• Moderators can moderate because they have access to content features that other people don't have. These features include links in the Actions list. A moderator also has access to a Pending Approvals page through a moderation link in their Your Stuff menu.
• A space approver isn't a moderator, but can do a kind of moderation because all documents in the space must be approved by them before being moderated or published for view by others.
• A system or space administrator designates someone as a moderator or space approver by assigning them the correct permissions in the admin console.
• A moderator's own content will show up in the moderation queue where moderation is enabled.
• Moderation settings aren't inherited. However, abuse reporting is a global setting that's inherited. Abuse reports are queued in the space moderator's moderation queue. If there's no moderator for that space, the report is queued at the root space level.

• A moderator for the root space moderates private messages, system and personal blog posts, and content in social groups.

• Blog post comments are moderated by the blog's owner.
