#93 Remove Moderation from Journals
Moderation should be removed from Journals Entry
comments. The reasoning is threefold.
1) Moderation is for filtration of comments in stories
where many comments are found. JEs rarely go over
several comments, and as such is uneeded.
2) Moderation in JEs is used many times for karma
upping/downing by people who either were abused, or are
abusing the system. Besides meta-moderation, in stories
many moderators see the same comments, and many
moderations even out. In JEs moderation is seen by very
few, and as such, abuse is not often caught.
3) Especially in one's own Journal, the user's comments
should not be able to be moderated. When a person posts
a comment to his very own Journal, it is unlikely that
any moderation (perhaps other than "funny") apply. It
is one's own JE, so it cannot be offtoptic or troll.
Besides, if someone is reading the JE, they probably
want to see all that users comments as well.
I will admit my personal reason for askig is that i
just got <A Href =
"http://slashdot.org/~Chacham/journal/64421">bombed</A>
by someone. This isn't the first time it has happened,
and i'm sure i'm not the only person.

This is a reasonable feature request, but I don't want it on Slashdot. On
Slashdot, if you post, you are subject to moderation and if you moderate,
you are subject to meta moderation. Thems the breaks of using our free
service. We need moderation to detect and stop robots and abuse, which
can occur in journals just as well as discussions.
As for the feature itself, I imagine other Slash installs might like it, so I
move this request here... patches are welcome.

I don't understand how abuse can happen in one's own JE. The
owner simply defines what his JEs are about, making "abuse"
quite impossible.
As for other's abusing with their comments, that what the
relationships and modifiers are for. The points in most
cases are for sifting, and that is required in stories
(which tend to have many comments), not JEs (which tend to
have a few).
I don't see the relevance of robots to this.
