Moderation launched on Praja

tech - 6-AUG-2009

We had recently solicited ideas for introducing moderation on Praja for Posts and Comments. We thought it was essential to have a moderation system to retain the no-nonsense flavour of Praja as we grow. We are thankful to all those who responded and are happy to announce the launch of moderation system on Praja.

There are four facets to moderation on Praja.

1. To remove content that is deemed to be unfit for publishing on Praja by its members. This include posts that contain spam, hate speech, rumours etc.
2. To 'review' posts for their links, tagging, formatting and other cosmetic/functional aspects.
3. To make top quality content more easily accessible to users
4. To provide a way for all users to bring objectionably content to admins' notice

Principles of moderation on Praja
Keeping with the democratic principle of Praja, the moderation is also democratic
and as transparent and objective as it could be. In summary, to meet the above objectives we have worked with following principles

1. Most active Praja members become 'moderators' who can 'flag' content for unpublishing. If enough moderators flag a post or comment for unpublishing, it will be automatically unpublished.
2. All posts published will be reviewed by one of the administrators 'only' for their technical consistency (formatting, tagging, links etc). Admins will NOT unpublish the posts during this review.
3. All users can vote posts up or down and the posts with highest votes will be predominantly displayed on the front page.
4. All users should have a facility to bring objectionable content to admins' notice

There is a need for a comprehensive City management policy for Bangalore. The policy should address all aspects of life pertaining to the city, including people and other live stock. Water is one of the important aspects of life.
