Moderation of Posts

[varoomba]

The following was posted on the vbulletin.com and the user was told to ask the question here. I can't see that he has.

Regardless, the following e-mail explains exactly what I am needing from a post moderation standpoint - along with the ability to specify user by user who is to be moderated and who is not.

Any way to do this?

--------------------------
I am considering moving over to vB (from an asp forum) for the amazing amount of features that vB offers. I have bought and installed the vB forum. Great work, BUT, I find the moderation feature of posts very poor. (Sorry guys). For my forums, all post are moderated (to help reduce the legal action I face with my site! Currently I am being sued for 90,00 Euros - for a member's post!) The problem with the vB moderation is that when a member posts, they cannot see their post. There is no feedback as to where the post (or new thread) is. Thus while testing the new forum, my members are posting the same post two or three times! Currently with my asp forum, when a member posts, their post shows to them, but not to other members until it has been approved. (This is a system I created myself). Is there any way of doind this with vB?

Thanks for any help you can offer,

There is no option in standard vB to do so. An alternative would be (but this will only work if you have very limited number of forums), is to not allow members to post in your regular forum, but only in a staging forum. In this staging forum people can only see their own posts. Once aproved, a moderator can move the post to the main forum. This will however only work for threads, not individual posts.

Otherwise you will need a modication, i doubt that it will be very difficult to make this.
