Pre-approve certain members posts?

[mannyRUA]

I read this was a feature of SMF2. I *think* I found where to turn it on in Admin>Configuration>Core Features>Post Moderation

I don't see where to do the settings?

To be sure, we want certain members posts to be held until a mod can approve them. Can you guys point me in the right direction please?

If you click on the link (which was text before you enabled it) on Core Features, you can get to the settings page.

Thanks for the pointers guys. It was a bit more involved to do it for individual members actually, but I got there in the end with your hints.

For the benefit of others who will find this topic: You make a new membergroup and assign the "moderated" permissions to that membergroup. If you decide someone is a pain and cannot be trusted to converse with normal people and/or not disrupt the site, you can put them in the new member group. This means any post they make goes into a moderation queue and doesn't appear in public until you or one of your mods approve it. 

Next to the boards name on the main page, will appear a red exclamation mark if there are outstanding posts awaiting approval. There is an attached image showing you that on our site.

Click the exclamation mark and you will be taken to a list of posts awaiting approval. Simply hit "Approve" or "Remove" according to if the content is acceptable.
