[Bug / Issue] Moderated Users Hidden PMs

[BulliM]

Private messages of users in usergroup 4 (moderated) are not readable for recipients. Only subject is readable, textfield seems to be empty. Moderated users have the same rights like registered users except Skip Moderation for Posts = No. Issue or not?

EDIT: In database (table node), these messages aren't approved (approved = 0, showapproved = 0).

Is that right? PM have to approved by admin or mod? Where?

I would consider that a bug, since there's no facility in the UI for admins or moderators to review anyone's PMs.
Would be worth raising it in the tracker.

In the meantime, probably the best workaround is to deny users in that usergroup the ability to send PMs. If you don;t trust them to make a public post without approval, then you probably wouldn't want them sending PMs.

Thank you Mark B.! I'll do.

Are you sending a Welcome PM to users when they register?

[BulliM]

Not at last. Deactivated since about six month.

[Wayne Luke]

Hmmm. Weird that they are getting private messages then.

[BulliM]

That's an idea, I had before, too. But anyway it is a bug.

[Wayne Luke]

It is... A workaround helps with the frustration level though.

[BulliM]

No big deal for me, this time.
