A Discussion content element displays a discussion between you and your website visitors. Discussions can be moderated either before or after a post has been made.

  2. Select the discussion from the discussion list.
  3. Select the relevant thread.
  4. Click a message to view it and to change its state from 'New and non-public' to 'Public' or 'Rejected'. In this example, 'You're all stupid' has all the hallmarks of a message that is most likely inappropriate and needs to be rejected.
  5. Click a message to view it. An overview of the message will appear that lists the reactions that have been sent.
  6. Click the link for the message next to Thread to view the message. Since this message is not suitable for the forum, it is rejected. This message is now no longer visible in the thread. However, it still exists in XperienCentral and its state could be changed to 'Public' in the future.
