Procedures for managing open comments, discussed during IRC session during KDE-Promo Sprint 2011 May 7.

Anonymous comments

Dot stories are currently open to comments only from logged in/authorized users. Several people have suggested that anonymous comments might add value to the conversation. There has been some history of abuse, particularly personal attacks. The following provides information regarding open comment management.

Trial

During an IRC meeting at the KDE-Promo Sprint (2011 May 7), it was agreed that there would be a trial period for open comments. Stuart Jarvis will announce a one week trial when procedures have been established.

  • Editors will record objectionable comments:
    • to allow monitoring of [[1]] or [[2]] comments
    • to distinguish between registered and unregistered users
    • unpublishing comments (instructions below) will suffice for this tracking.
  • The 1 week trial will be extended to 1 month, unless the open comments procedure is clearly unworkable.
  • The trial may be stopped at any point if editors agree that it is not working.
  • Open comments will be reviewed fully after 1 month.
    • Did open comments add to the value of the Dot?
    • Did the comment management process work?
  • During the trial, editors will regularly and frequently check comments for spam and highly objectionable trolling (See [Code of Conduct] - criticism is OK, even if it's harsh; personal attacks are not OK.)
    • An RSS feed is available for quick and easy review.
    • More complete comment listings provide additional context if necessary.
    • Editing comments is permissible.
  • Objectionable comments should be unpublished rather than deleted to allow for later analysis.

RSS Feed

Simple feed for quick and easy comment review http://dot.kde.org/comments/recent/rss.xml

  • Feed includes comment title, author, date/time, comment body.
  • It does not include information associating comments with Dot articles.
  • Feed icon on dot.kde.org pages is a link to the RSS feed for the entire site - http://dot.kde.org/rss.xml
