Recent Posts does not properly adhere to unapproved topics

I'm not sure that's the best behaviour, but I'm not sure the alternative is any better either.


--- Quote ---So, instead of touching this query wouldn't be the same to post as unapproved all the messages (irrespective of the author) when a topic is not approved?
--- End quote ---

That would also work.


--- Quote ---That would avoid the need to join the topics table, downside the topic would become completely pink...

But it requires altering the way moderation is handled, and more importantly would be more confusing to users - imagine getting 'Why is my post moderated? I'm the admin!' support requests.

(Of course, I've set myself up for that with Wedge but the UI is set up so that even admins can be subject to moderation under specific circumstances.)

Yep, I don't like that behaviour so much...but it sort of makes sense...sort of...

Users are always confused! :P
BTW it could be a nice "reminder" that the topic is still visible only to moderators. Don't know if useful though.

It's visible to anyone with the approve permission and the originating user, so even then you'd have to tailor the note depending on it being the topic starter or a moderator.
