First post approval

[plusev]

Is there a way to have the first post (or jsut the first 3 post)s from a new user await approval?

Thx

This should be what your looking for

That mod is for unapproving posts that were already approved.

Post moderation is a default function of SMF2.0.  Admin > Members > Permissions > Post Moderation

Ok, I found it. So if I just want to have a new users first post approved I have to set up a user group that that a new user says in for 1 post than get moved to a new group?? That sounds like a lot of unnessesary steps for something so simple. any other way to go about this?

Seems like it sound be a default option like other forums.

It is a default option. If your post count groups are now 0 posts and 10 posts and so on, then you would just need to add a group for 1 or 2 posts or what you would like the upper limit to be, and make the group under it (0 posts group) post moderated. That way when they have had enough posts approved to move over to the next post count group, they would no longer be moderated.

Yeah, I got it. Guess I'll have to make a new group like superduperbetternotbeaspammerNewbie  . My other forums have one check box to accomplish this.

Alright Can we mark this solved then?

[plusev]

Maybe I don't get it. So to have a new user's first 3 posts moderated I'd have to set up 4 groups?

New Users A - post count 0 = first post moderated
New Users B - post count 1 = second post moderated
New Users C - post count 2 = third post moderated
New Users D - post count 3 = no more moderation

Thx

[JimM]

Nope, it would be like this:

New Users A - post count 0 = Post moderated
New Users B - Post count 3 = Not post moderated

So the membergroup A would have to post 3 times, all moderated and then they would move to the membergroup B and their post would not be moderated.

[plusev]

Does New User A get a notification that his first or third post is awaiting approval? If so where would that be so I can edit the text?

Thx

It is the string js_post_will_require_approval in Post.english.php
"Reminder: This post will not appear until approved by a moderator. "
if I'm not mistaken
