Component body

This simple module will allow you to do two things: bury comments which have been voted down through disemvoweling (using ANY ONE of the voting forms available in Drupal) and "promote" the comment with the highest number of votes for a node (again, using ANY ONE of the voting forms in Drupal).

Please get in touch with me if you'd like to become this module's maintainer! I will keep basic maintenance on my modules, but help is most welcome. If you want to read why, Why I quit Drupal

Burried comments can be either invisible (except for administrators or other user specified roles) or they can be disemvoweled. Disemvoweling is a moderating technique used on boing boing where vowels are stripped from inappropriate comments. This makes the comments harder to read, sends clear message to the community about what is undesirable content and at the same time does not censor content (more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disemvoweling).

Disemvoweling is a feature sponsored by the Croatian political web site
http://pollitika.com.

The goal of this module is to offer both a moderation system, and a way of using Drupal
forums as a "The best community answer" site.
