Maybe I am too stupid for this but it would help a lot if you explain how you'd solve the problem I described.

there were two separate scenarios asked to which i gave different answers. we're trying to help you out, but either we totally don't understand what you're asking for or you're not understanding what we're saying.

for this you would need a hack, as stated above. you can moderate everything or nothing, that's how vB works by default. it cannot separate new threads from posts. it's an all or nothing type thing with vB.

But I want another usergroup to have permission create new threads without moderation.

this is possible via usergroup and forum permissions. for example, even if you have a forum in which all posts (threads AND posts) are moderated, you can set up a usergroup in which non of their posts (threads AND posts) are moderated.

So thats the scenario i am looking for:

Membergroup = needs Thread approval, Posts unmoderated

not possible without a hack.

Specialgroup = needs no approval at all

this can be done by the forum and usergroup permissions. you do not need a hack for this part.

But when I put the normal Membergroup to No on "Follow Forum Moderation Rules" ALL their posts need to be approved in every forum, thats not what I want.

anytime you select No on "Follow Forum Moderation Rules", the posts will be moderated no matter what.
