Dear community,
I recently presented decidim and it's functionality to my supervisors. One remark that came up pretty quickly is the possibility to moderate content before being published.
I know that there is the possibility to flag content as inappropriate and then to hide it.
However, the concern came up that offensive comments or proposals posted in the evening or on Sundays will be online at least until the next working day (and if the moderators are out of office even longer).
Would a module that gives ability to moderate content before publishing violate against decidim's social contract and thus negotiating the possibility of using decidim as participatory platform?
Best wishes,
Eduard

Hi @eduard and welcome to the community! :) I totally agree with @Leo. In our experience, and many cities are now using Decidim, trolling is practically non-existent.
I understand the initial fear that there can be among city officials (if that is the case), because certainly in the corporative networks like Twitter or Facebook there is a lot of trolling for example towards the public representatives. But experience confirms that platforms like Decidim do not reproduce the dynamics that occur in social media or in a very marginal way.
