Moderated comment?!

[Vlado]

Just got this message after posting a comment on :

Well, my points level at the time of writing this is 6,400 and I've been active on SCN since the time it was a toddler

I am also a moderator in some spaces - albeit not in that document's space.

So, what's wrong here?

Thanks,

It looks like the document is set to have moderated comments only.

While creating document, radiobutton is present at bottom to set this option.

Collaboration Options > Comment Policy > Moderated (Non-Authors comments will require approval)

I have already reported this, no idea when it's going to be fixed.

Thanks for the reference, Samuli.

, any update on this issue?

Please refer to http://scn.sap.com/thread/3473446

Essentially, blog post and document authors have the option to personally moderate (or simply not allow) comments on their content. This is a platform feature and not a bug.

I think the problem here is the misleading warning message.

Hi Jason,

I already checked that thread thanks to Samuli's comment above.

My question is about the fix for the misleading message.

Oxana will have to reply on that.

Hi Vladimir,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Current generic message is applicable for all users that are being moderated. Although in this particular case the message may appear to be misleading to some members, it is important to address this.

Unfortunately currently I don't have an estimated timeline when will this be changed. We'll keep you and other SCN members updated. Thank you for your care!

Best,

Oxana

Thank you for your reply, Oxana! Will look forward to your updates.

PS: Let me also just mention that the current message is *not* generic but rather concrete actually ("you are new to posting on SCN") which IMO adds even more to the confusion as the actual reason is quite different (comment policy 'Moderated' is set by author).

It's generic in the sense that that same message is being used in several scenarios where content is moderated.

I see Jason, however it's certainly not generic in what it says
