Commenting
Note
This version of our legacy Commenting tool is being replaced by our NEW Conversations tool
Introduction
Viafoura’s conversations tool promotes real-time discussions that are civil and safe through an intuitive user experience. With features like badges to indicate user status (subscriber, preferred user, etc.), notifications, real-time news feeds, and follow capabilities built into our tools, users are encouraged to become frequent contributors and engage with members across your site. This will help your brand nurture a social community dedicated to your content versus just a simple commenting board. Our industry-leading moderation system will also ensure all discussions around your content are in accordance with your community guidelines. Viafoura’s automated moderation system offers a high degree of flexibility on exactly how strict the regulations should be.
