Description

Problem: Sharing one administration account for moderation is not a good practice.

Suggested solution: We need a new role of users for moderation purpose.

Alternative suggestions:

  • A Google sheet based system for people to review comments and moderate
  • Then sync the moderation decision using a scheduled script automatically

Additional context: It would be better if it is natively supported by polis instead of asking people to maintain another system

Research direction
Investigate the existing authentication and authorization system in polis to understand how roles are currently managed and then implement a new 'moderator' role with appropriate permissions for moderation tasks in authorized conversations.
