[Forum] Posts suddenly going into Moderation

[pctechb]

I have several categories that pull in RSS content from my other sites. It had been working fine, but suddenly all of these are suddenly going into Moderation queue. I have them set to "No" in the form setup for moderation, and they are coming in under my admin user account, which is not moderated.

I can't figure out why this is happening and would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this mystery. Thanks!

Here are all the ways a post can be put into moderation.

1. Check the overall Usergroup settings for the relevant usergroups and make sure moderation is turned off:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Follow Forum Moderation Rules -> Yes

2. Check the individual forum settings to make sure moderation is turned off:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Moderate Posts and Moderate Threads -> No

3. Check ALL the usergroup permissions for that forum (Forum Permissions). One of the usergroups they are in has Follow Forum Moderation Rules set to 'No'. This needs to be set to 'Yes'.

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Permissions -> Edit (appropriate forums and usergroups) -> Follow Forum Moderation Rules

4. Make sure the Primary usergroup has 'Allow Users to have Member Groups ' set to 'Yes'. Otherwise secondary permissions are not considered.

5. If you have the Anti-Spam Service setting turned on, it could be automatically moderating some posts:

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Spam Management -> Anti-Spam Service

If you have Akismet or Typepad chosen then that is what is moderating these posts.

Otherwise if these permissions are all set correctly and you still have this problem, then it is from a modification you made.

I turned off Askimet....let's see what happens. Everything else was set correctly.

Hello,

I have a similar problem with some members. Some of their posts suddenly go to moderation and the same happens when write at some member's profile.

Do I have to follow the same steps?

Thanks!

Nah, still happening. I didn't make any changes.

Then the only other possible cause of this is a modification.
