Built-in content validators

Tridion Sites provides built-in content validators for User Generated Content which help to control visitor behavior when commenting or rating. You can activate one or more of these content validators.

About this task

Community service
The Community service, which enables storage and retrieval of submitted (visitor) comments and ratings, has the following validators available:
  • The Double Commenting Validator enforces a minimum interval between comments on the same item by the same visitor, or disables multiple comments by the same visitor on the same item altogether.
  • The Double Rating Validator disables multiple ratings by the same visitor on the same item altogether, or enforces a minimum interval between ratings on the same item by the same visitor.
Visitor website
On your visitor website, use the Double Comment Voting Validator to disallow a visitor from voting more than once on the same comment.
