Ok, perhaps you can clarify something for me then.
Submissions to the
knowledge base are (unfortunately) few and far between. So how is waiting
for the approval of a post to the knowledge base a problem when there is not
a flood of posts to it?
You misunderstand me -- I'm saying I have no problem with "I approve
this user to have the power to make edits" to prevent spammers from
signing up and filling the place with ads that someone has to go and
actively remove.
However, once approved to make edits, I can submit and edit to my
heart's content.
More to the point, remember that the knowledge base is
NOT meant to be a
discussion forum. For that, moderating every post would be a major pain. But
it is NOT meant to be a discussion forum. It's meant to be a repository for
specific answers and information that come up frequently.
Non sequitur. I didn't say anything about a discussion forum.
However, generally wikis allow comments on articles by others,
although this can certainly be disabled if you just want articles with
no comments.
