FAQ on Voting and Moderation

I've just been to read the FAQ as I didn't understand it either. I didn't know there WAS a difference. However, to sum it up...... VOTING - applies only to the first post of a thread, and determines whether or not the thread appears on the home page. The ADD VOTE button is only on the first post of the thread. MODERATING - applies to any other post in the thread. Individual posts can be moderated by selecting a level from "Utter Rubbish" to Excellent" and then clicking the Moderate Comments button after the last post in the thread. The effect of this is to give the individual posts a "value" within the thread. This "value" dtermines whether or not the comment will be displayed in full whilst viewing the thread, dependant upon the users individual "Comment Viewing Options" settings.
