Moderator Activity 

1. When an Idea is flagged, the Moderator(s) receives a Moderation task for the Idea. The task should generate an immediate notification email as well as being added to the tasks in the Daily Summary. Please refer to the image below. 

 2. After checking the task list, the Moderator can then navigate to the idea(s) and can see who has flagged the idea and the reason(s) behind it. Please refer to the images below. 

3. The Moderator can then take their decision to either approve the idea and remove the flag, or permanently remove the idea by selecting an option from the drop down from ‘Decision’. 

a) Decision – Approve this idea: Moderator can remove the flag(s) and approves the idea.

b) Decision – Delete this idea: Moderator determines the Idea is inappropriate, they can delete the idea. If the Idea is removed, it should be treated in the same manner as an otherwise deleted Idea.

4. If the moderator wishes to approve the idea, then they would get an option to edit the idea. Look at the screenshot below -

5. When the Moderator makes their decision, they will select their decision from above and click into confirm, which will bring a new window with option to send a message to: 

a. Idea Creator - explaining the decision (i.e. confidential information removed, idea inappropriate) 

b. Reporter - explaining the decision (i.e. the idea was not inappropriate or confidential)
