Encourage interaction among your online community with forums. Allow anonymous posts or use built-in membership security model for authentication.
The forum and CMS membership can be integrated to implement comon log-in accounts for users.
Online Discussion Forums are an important means of determining the stakeholder/audience pulse on key issues and ongoing subject categories. Whether editorially moderated or not, discussions such as these can be an effective means of generating buzz among concerned stakeholders.
Facilitate interactive dialog through multi-threaded discussion forums. Reach geographically dispersed audiences without bearing the costs of travel, accommodations or teleconferencing.
As desired by your policy, an administrative interface permits a moderator to preview comments or questions before approving for publication (if desired), thus helping avoid objectionable language or unsavory comments. Moderator privileges can be assigned to several editors who can approve, edit, and delete individual messages and manage message and thread hierarchies.
