Thoughts on moderation in Flow

Thoughts on moderation within Flow =“Do”s=
 * 1) It should be possible to hide a message with or without replies to it. This should only be done when a message is inflammatory. This should work like w:Template:hat -- without showing who hid the message (this is in history) and with easy means to view the hidden content.
 * 2) It should be possible to delete own message. It would only remain in history and no trace of it should remain on the board itself.
 * 3) It should be possible to move messages, subsections, and groups of messages (message + replies) easily, using drag and drop. This is crucial to handling large volumes of feedback.
 * 4) Potentially from one browser tab to another tab?
 * 5) Should be possible to mark a message as "this message solves the problem". This should be enough. (See how support.mozilla.org does this in forum threads.)

 * 1) Introduce "solution", "question" type of comments for some activities. Show "4 comments, 1 solution, 3 questions" sort of thing in the subtitle (beloe title).
 * 2) Add +/- buttons to each message to sort out poor messages and perhaps approach talk page noise.
 * 3) * Add means to move a message to a 'offtopic' section of a page, not remove it (Context)? Or would +/- be sufficient? I think they would be sufficient - boring messages would move down to the bottom. Having message marked as a permanently offtopic could be disappointing, as would relying on a single contributor decision.
 * 4) Introduce thread tags. Have a lot of feedback on something? A half of it related to a feature which has already been fixed? Tag them (i.e. add them to a category and have it visible on the board page too). Should be possible to filter topics from a board by category or invert selection.
 * 5) We don't have readonly archives with Flow. This means that for inactive discussions, which were last active more than N days ago, it might be feasible to semi-lock the thread - then some extra warnings would be in place before you post a reply. The entire thread should remain visible then. Number N may depend on activity at a specific board (if activity is low, N is bigger).
 * 6) Rename "lock" to "archive".

=“Don't”s= * (Only exception is where it's racist or otherwise inflammatory, then hat should be used to fold it with a 'show' button.)
 * 1) Nothing should prevent anyone from viewing a thread or message contents.*
 * 2) Nothing should prevent anyone from replying to a message under any circumstances.*
 * 3) "Close topic" in Flow currently does both of the two above. This is stupid.
 * 4) Don't mark entire topic status as solved. People should be able to see whether it's resolved on their own. (Showing "4 comments, 1 solution" in subtitle is acceptable, as pointed in the “Do”s section.)
 * 5) Summarising a topic should be possible, if you like, but doing so - alone - should not hide its contents. (It would still be possible to hide contents using a hide button, if the topic is inflammatory.) A user may choose to switch to compact view of topics if he likes.
 * 6) Don't allow to lock right away, before a contributor has a chance to follow-up a (even solved) conversation.
 * 7) Don't limit moderation to sysops or other privileged contributors (including, don't limit it to logged in contributors).
 * 8) Don't limit participation in discussions to privileged contributors (including, don't limit it to logged in contributors).
