Moderation Queue?

[Homeworld'sa]

Is there a way to set posts on the Moderation Queue WITHOUT using the vBPromotions part or having new usergroups?

[Steve Machol]

You would have to set the appropriate Usergroup permissions.

[cbiweb]

Yes, go into the usergroup settings for each group you want to moderate, and find this in the Post / Thread Permissions section:

Follow Forum Moderation Rules
If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue

Change it to "No".

[Homeworld'sa]

I didn't make myself clear. It's only for the first post a user makes. A spambot deterrant that's always worked

[Steve Machol]

There is no way to do that without Promotions and multiple usergroups - or an add-on.

[Homeworld'sa]

Okay. Thanks anyway.

I'll just have to do it that way.

[cbiweb]

In that case, no, unfortunately. Not sure if there's anything like that at vbulletin.org, but you can ask.


Edit: LOL - I swear I'm not stalking Steve.

lol

When a user registers, how do I get them to go straight to the Moderation Usergroup?

[Steve Machol]

To go straight into that group you would have to turn off email verification:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options -> Verify Email address in Registration -> No

And turn on moderation:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options -> Moderate New Members -> Yes

[Homeworld'sa]

I don't want to moderate my members. I want their posts to go to the moderation queue if they make a post after registering or have 0 posts, and the forum staff manages the posts and decides to either approve or disapprove the post. I just want them to register, verify their email, and be moderated with 0 posts. It worked on my older forums before transferring to vB. *confused*

It's a bit like this user is asking (without the email part ) http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...38&postcount=1

[Steve Machol]

Then either post #3 or post #5 is still applicable.

[Homeworld'sa]

Still don't get it. Could someone please explain, in detail, what I should do? I have Autism, so it's hard for me to understand these things.

1. Set the registered usergroup so that all posts are moderated:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Follow Forum Moderation Rules -> No

2. Create a new usergroup with the appropriate overall permissions and no moderation:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Add New Usergroup

3. Create a Promotion to promote users that reach this post level to that group:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Promotions

Got it now. Thanks Steve
