What is Moderation?

Moderation is when content submitted through our website is not automatically published live, but is passed to a member of council staff to view before live publication.

Why do we use moderation?

Depending on the area of the website it is used on, moderation may be used for a number of reasons:

To ensure that no defamatory etc. content is added.
To add a reply to the information before it is published.
To place the content in a classification structure.

All moderated areas of this website are maintained by Durham County Council's Website Administrator.
