new FAQ needed: Selective Screening

Hello, good people of docs! I come to you today bearing tidings of a new feature that is scheduled to go live on the site in the next few days. It is called Selective Screening and there's a post up in [site community profile] dw_dev describing how it works.

In order to explain this new functionality to our users, I believe a new FAQ is needed, with a title like "What is Selective Screening?" that explains what it does and how to use it. It doesn't have to be anything major; something similar to FAQ 58 would be quite sufficient.

I believe the following FAQs should also be updated to mention the feature and/or link to the new FAQ:

  • FAQ 9: How do I control who can comment on my journal?

  • FAQ 59: What can I do about unwanted comments?

  • FAQ 120: What are Dreamwidth's new features?

Thank you for your help!

[draft] FAQ 59: What can I do about unwanted comments?

Current:
If the same person keeps posting comments you don't want, you can ban that person. You can also remove them from your access list (if they're on it).

Proposed:

If the same person keeps posting comments you don't want, you can [new faq]selectively screen[/link] or ban that person. You can also remove them from your access list (if they're on it).

Is there a reason to link to the new FAQ, but not link to the ban FAQ? This seems inconsistent.

Laziness in drafting; I don't have doc privs at the moment, so I'm rusty on the exact syntax, and there's a link already in place in the existing FAQ. So the link should be retained where it is.

Excellent question.
