Default Auto-approve threads in moderated forum

Would like to know (or request) of a hack to allow auto-approval of threads in a forum where all other threads are moderated.

We have a forum where we moderate all new threads and there is typically a 24-48 hour delay before approval, but we want to allow auto-approval of threads for for certain usergroups who subscribe to one of our paid services, and have their threads appear immediately in the forum.

The standard VB moderation settings do not do the trick, thus we are looking for a hack that would allow threads created by Usergroup A & B to appear immediately in the forum while threads posted by all other Usergroups are moderated.

Does anyone know of a hack that currently does this? Or how we would go about achieving this without extensive coding.

I think you should check again, you should be able to do this with standard forum/usergroup permissions.

I am also looking for a hack to do this. There are no default settings to make only certain groups have unmoderated threads. Anything out there?

To be more specific:

The scenario that I am trying to accomplish is that Usergroup A will have threads moderated but posts unmoderated and Usergroup B will have threads and posts unmodereated.

I know there are a lot of built-in settings, but I don't see any way to accomplish this particular scenario.

ok, i've read that a couple times and i think i understand... for usergroup B, the easiest/quickest way to accomplish that would be to select NO for (Follow Forum Moderation Rules) within their usergroup setting. that will make everything they post, threads and/or posts go into the mod que. for Usergroup A... you want new threads to be moderated, but NOT posts (as in replies)? if that is the case, i don't think that is possible via default settings and you would need a mod/hack to accomplish that.

That is basically correct except in Usergroup A, I would like everything to NOT be moderated. I agree that a mod/hack is needed. Is there anything out there or does anyone have a suggestion on how this should be done?

if you don't want anything from Usergroup A moderated, then just select Yes to (Follow Forum Moderation Rules). a hack is not needed for what you want to do.

Yes but I want usergroup B to only have moderated THREADS not posts/replies.

1.If I set the forum to moderate threads but not posts, then Usergroup A will have threads moderated which I don't want.

2. If I set the forum to no moderation but set usergroup B to not follow forum moderation rules, then Usergroup B will have both threads and posts moderated which I don't want.

you can set individual forum permissions to each usergroup. just keep usergroup A at their default permissions which would mean their posts/threads will NOT be moderated. for usergroup B, you will need a hack for what you want... or at least some minor code modification.
