Pre-screen / moderate users' posts
 

Based on an original hack by wluke (included in bira's thread here), which...

- Allows you to place a user under moderation, whereby his posts and threads will be queued until an admin/moderator validates them

...this adds...

- Make all new users moderated automatically
- Allow moderators to see all unmoderated posts
- Enhances control panel to give a better view of posts, and give further information about the user

This is great for stopping people who just want to spam or troll, and monitoring what new users write before the rest of the board sees them.

...the enhanced control panel looks like this:

great hack ;)

my best wish...

LORD :)

Updated to show the number of replies in the control panel (d'oh, didn't even notice it in the screenshot!)

This is a nice hack...

Hello,

This is just the hack i was looking for!

But... i don't want new users to be under moderation automaticly.

I only want to put problem-users in de moderation que.

Is that a feature already present in this hack? or do i have to change something to make new users become normally registered?

Thanx in advance

This feature is already present... just ignore the "Make new users moderated automatically" part of the hack.

hehehe marocnl, i saw your forum and yes...this hack makes sense for you. :D

hi james,
nice hack, which i just wanted to install, however the preview bit for moderators isnt working / it think there is something missing out of your hack-text file, it just stopps abrupt and I cant see where the template is being included.

im sure its just an upload mistake or something. could you have a look and maybe update the file, if I'm right?

thanks tina

I have updated this file: it did look rather truncated. Not sure why.
