Comments Archival

[Jai1122]

Hi All,

  We are planning to implement archiving/purging of user generated comments on blog. The only approach i can think about is, "The best practice would be to make sure none of the node has more than 1000 child nodes". So i can write a event handler which will be triggered on reaching 1000 comments and deletes the oldest comment.

 Is this a good approach. I am not sure how archiving of comments happen any suggestions please!!!

Usually UGCs will not be purged unless the blog/content itself is purged/archived. so there is nothing OOTB for this. 

If its a kind of business decision, you can handle it with the event handler as you mentioned either with the number of child nodes or based on the created date etc...
