I need to moderate posts and comments

(1/3) > >>

preacherman:
I did not want to have to moderate posts and comments to our Bible Study forum so I left everything open.  It seems some people have no respect for others and choose to post unrelated topics so I find myself needing to moderate everything.  My problem is I can not find the section to tell the software everything needs to require moderation.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Clyde Reid aka Preacherman

I think you are asking for post approval feature.

To enable it perform the following steps:

Administration Center » Core Features
Post Moderation (enable this option from here)


Administration Center » Permissions » Edit Profiles
Create a new profile in here and name it anything you like (Personally I prefer it named as "Approval")


Now, click on profile approval and set permissions for each group.
Post new topics, without requiring approval  -- uncheck that options for those groups for which you want to activate the approval system when they create a new topic.

To see the unapproved posts see the moderation center of your forum.

Hope this helps you :).

Joker,
Thank you for your reply but I do not find the links you are talking about in any of the admin sections.  I am using SMF2.0.1  Could that be the difference?

I found an area that sounds similar but nothing that allows me to tell the script I need to moderate every post/reply.

Thanks again,
preacherman

Preacherman, That is for 2.0.1 version ..... hit admin .... then look for core features under the configuration area , no script needed for it is a default feature of 2.0.1 if activated as Joker post said.

mc73,
Thanks for the info.  I was not aware I needed to be in the configuration area of the admin section.  I got part of it done but my problem now is I can't find a way to do this

Now, click on profile approval and set permissions for each group.
Post new topics, without requiring approval  -- uncheck that options for those groups for which you want to activate the approval system when they create a new topic.

I can't find the profile approval to click on to set the permissions.

Man, I am feeling about as dumb as a box of rocks.  I am betting this is right in front of me.

Thanks again,
preacherman
