Requires admin re-approval if post modified by poster upon approval
emanuele:
I'm for an "unapprove" button (was thinking to stick it into 2.1, but I still have to think about it :P), but automatically unapprove a post because of an edit...I don't know...
The post is approved the moment it has been posted, that's true, but once the post is approved moderators and admins have the power to change or delete that post.

I agree, it's also very useful when someone accidentally approves a post. So I'd say it's a good addition :)

Without post moderation, the moderator already had the power to edit or delete the post after it was posted. If we think this way; then post moderation won't be needed either. :) I agree on unapprove button, its better I think.

I think rather than an unapprove button , at least an alert should be sent to moderator,preferably with the addition/change shown highlighted so that moderator can easily figure out the reason of modification,even it is a grammatical correction.

UnApprove button would be a good addition but not in my case ...
--- Quote from: Elmacik on May 07, 2012, 10:26:11 AM ---I guess it would be better as a feature because its more likely a core matter rather than being an additional option. If you think of the logic of "approving posts"; its more appropriate to be a core feature since the approved post consists of the intact message only; not the poster itself. Currently, it means actually you approve the poster; not the message. So he/she can change whole message to whatever she/he wants and you accept that you already approved what he/she will say in the future. (Of course I don't mean her/his later messages to the topics; I mean the editions to the existing message)
On the other hand; it might be said that if you approve someone's message, it means that you put trust in that person; so it might be a bit harsh to ask approving again for even the little typo corrections..

It would be good idea to add this feature into core ,but as mentioned as "disabled" by default.On the other hand,i don't think approving a post/content does necessarily mean you approve every post of the poster indefinitely,especially in content-sensitive forums.My specific case requires a tight content screening that's why i'm in need of knowing every single modification either it is a grammatical correction or a taunting/spam.
Kindred:
Unapprove is a good idea and is available as a mod already.
the other... I can not see it being a core feature.... I honestly can not see any admin on a forum with more than a few member sever using it. I have 40,000 members... Making edits frequently...
