[consulting] DigitalBicycle moderation system ideas

[Boris Mann]

 From http://drupal.org/node/54416:

> The DigitalBicycle Project is working to develop a Drupal module  
> that would allow site-wide moderation of content in a uniform and  
> transparent manner. We define moderation as the process of granting  
> or removing access to nodes, rather than of promoting or demoting  
> content to positions of attention or obscurity. We are currently  
> developing a moderately sized (several thousand user) community hub  
> with extensive Groups functionality.

> Please make note that the following is not a spec. Rather this is a  
> collection of ideas that our developers have come up with and are  
> making available in order to elicit feedback from the community. We  
> hope that this will help ensure that the development of a  
> moderation module benefits more than just the DigitalBicycle. We  
> have not yet determined whether development will take place in  
> house or be sponsored, but any ideas or support would be greatly  
> appreciated.

Do a lot of people on the list work with community moderation issues?  
This site (yes, it is Drupal) has some sort of "abuse" module that  
looks very interesting: http://www.zimmertwins.com/movie/watch/147517  
-- AFAIK, the code isn't available from anywhere yet.

It's almost like multi-variable voting (e.g. flag as spam, flag as  
inappropriate, flag for promotion, etc.) tied to actions/workflow.  
Hmmmm...that might be a good way to define a complex moderation system.
