User Generated Content Moderation
In order to assure the quality of the content that users will be able to see in the site or application, all user generated content should go through the moderation process. In this process one or more moderators will be able to review the new content and take the appropriate decision if it should be accepted or not.
You can start the moderation process by clicking the Moderation Dashboard link in the left
sidebar.
When users submit new content, it will automatically be listed in this page. Remember to select the right Social Context from the dropdown before making any changes.
