Thread:Feedback/Idea: Allow Moderation of Discussions/reply (4)

The idea is, to apply moderation only in certain cases, not in every discussion. And of course everyone would be able to contribute to any of those moderated discussions, that's why they are moderated. One of the most urgent cases for now are the pages where the deletion of articles are discussed in the german Wikipedia. In that case I don't see a realistic alternative to moderated discussions.

By the way, the way you are arguing isn't new. When new features like blocking pages for IPs or checked versions were about to be introduced, many people opposed to those features, using the same arguments as you: "should accept everyone", "feels more wiki", "I don't think it's applicable", etc. In all cases it turned out they were wrong.
