Moderation queue

[pefi]

Hi,
I got to implement 'moderation queue" for PFC (messages have to be apporoved before they will be send to chatters, admins get the full stream). Using proxy seems to be the best option, but befoer I start coding, I want to ask - maybe someone already did it? If not, do you have any hints that migt be useful? I'm going to use censor.class.php as the starting point - is it a good choice?

I want to get something similiar to BlastChat - there will be a small icon next to every message and an admin has to click it to 'approve'.

i dont think anybody has done this before, at least not that i can find in the forums here. I wouldn't do it personally since usually when my chatter are on in the evening on my site, I wouldnt be able to keep up with moderation... but i guess it'd work for a smaller site.

Hi,
I need it for a chat single-on-many. Many users are asking questions, admin/moderator selects questions that wll be answered and approves it. Then "the one" will answer. The site is reaching 900.000 visits per month, so "small" is relative

I already started coding, there will be approve/delete buttons, backend will use mysql container. Each message will have a metadata status: visible/invisible. Only "visibe" messages will be send to chatters. All messages are send as "invisibe", "approve" command changes status of a massage and triggers update. Does it make sense?

Holy cow, not even in my dreams would have 900,000 users a month..

whats your site about, its not related to only chat right?

Congrats and regards Merry Christmas.

I'm going to be honest with you, it is unlikely you'll be able to support the kind of usage you're looking at with those number of visitors, using PFC. How many are you expecting in the chat?

[pefi]

Looks like my info about number of _visits_ is misleading. There is a forum linked with the site, 10.000 users, max online at one time 200. Let's say we'll have 100 users online on the chat. Is pfc good enought for that? I'm sure it is.

[radionow]

a 100 users I expect will start "sucking up" a lot of resources. If you've got a very powerful server it should work, I never had enough users to do a real "stress test" on the chat to see how much resources chat takes, but I could see having 100 users is going to take a powerful server since the chat is http-requests and not like IRC.

Merry Christmas

200 users is fairly unreasonable for this chat. 150 has overloaded servers before. But you're certainly welcome to try.

OK. good to know. I feel warned
