    How to have all posts require moderator approval

    How can I require that posts of all members (registered as well as new) be approved by a moderator before they are listed?

    Thanks

    Hi there

    This is not a hard thing to do:
    1. Login to the Admin Control Panel of your forum as an Administrator (http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admin/)
    2. From the left menu, goto the section Forums & Moderators and click on 'Modify'
    3. From the right page that appeared, click on the [edit] button besides each forum.
    4. Then surf down to Moderation Options and where it says Moderator Queue - set that to YES
    5. Save. (and repeat for each forum you want to change)
    Done!

      Thanks.

      Is it possible to set it globally for all forums instead of forum by forum?

      Also, I may have between 5 to 10 more questions throughout the day. Is it better to post them here or in support?


      Thanks again

        Hi there again,

        I personally do not use the Moderator queue feature, because I do not need it. So I wouldn't really know if there was a global feature for this.

        My brain just informed me that if you set it to the 'category' all the child forums below it might inherit it. MIGHT !! I am not sure and didn't test this. But it would save a lot of editing.

        And about the other questions, just ask them. I can reply to them if I know the awnser, and otherwise someone else might So feel free to ask.
