Restricting Comments
Some [% terms.bug %] reports are inundated with comments that make it
difficult for developers to conduct technical discussions. Restricting
comments provides the ability for users in the
[%+ Param('restrict_comments_enable_group') FILTER html %] group to prevent
users who are not in the [% Param('restrict_comments_group') FILTER html %]
from making additional comments.
Guidelines
-
Restrictions may be applied to [% terms.bugs %] which are subject to high
volumes of off topic comments, or [% terms.bugs %] which contain high volumes
of violations of [% terms.Bugzilla %]
etiquette guidelines.
-
Restrictions should not be used as a preemptive measure against comments
which have not yet occurred.
-
Restrictions should not be used to privilege
[%+ Param('restrict_comments_group') FILTER html %] users over other users
in valid disputes/discussions.
Impact
-
Users who are not in the [% Param('restrict_comments_group') FILTER html %]
group will not be able to comment on the [% terms.bug %], nor will they be
able to change the value of any field.
-
All users will still be able to CC themselves to the [% terms.bug %].
-
All users will still be able to vote for the [% terms.bug %].
