Reading
Nabble's Universal Back-End I consider the possibility of debatably foul content of all sorts — words, pictures, sound, movies (not limited to written language).
A few other topics discuss
moderation. Selected points:
•
moderate posts and replies•
Very confused why admins can not…99% of the time I enjoy participation in fora where content never offends.
(Or, if content does offend, a person-to-person ban is quietly effective without involving owners.)
Legacy help from the old www.nabble.com domain:
•
What is self-moderation? (
highlights)
•
How do I remove SPAM or bad users from my forum? (
highlights).
I rarely seek a deprecated feature, but I wonder whether ratings can be re-introduced to Nabble — without cluttering or confusing the UI.
A six-point rating system (no entry icon, one star … five stars) might be presented in a pull-down menu, a sibling to the Options menu. Five stars uppermost, no entry at the foot of the list.
Not forgetting:
Workgroup format, with its five points
(1 = greatest interest, top priority)
plus the possibility of
a completed stamp of some sort.
Not forgetting: the established grey/red flag routine.

Based upon star ratings, Nabble 1 allowed users to view the 'best' messages (above a default threshold, or above a threshold preferred by the viewer).
A question for owners:
• if ratings were possible, then would you find it useful to have an alternative view — of messages that have been knocked down to one star or less?
During a periodic (weekly?) view of such messages, I might:
• delete messages that are truly junk
• notice a user receiving low ratings.
I might write to that user, reminding that they can edit/improve whatever they posted. The window of opportunity for edition seems to be indefinite.
(I wondered whether the
legacy advanced search allows a view of one-star messages, apparently not.)
