Auto-approve threads in moderated forum

[jyajay]

I cant confirm that. All threads of normal members should be put into the queue but not their posts. Thats how it is right now on my forum.

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

So thats the scenario i am looking for:

Membergroup = needs Thread approval, Posts unmoderated
Specialgroup = needs no approval at all

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.

Does nobody care about this? I mean it is not really something complicated.

for what you want, you can set up via usergroup and forum permissions by default. you do not need a hack.

No, it is just not possible because the forum itself has "Moderate Threads" enabled which applies to all usergroups. If you know how to allow one special usergroup to post new threads right away without being a moderator then please tell me how.

read the this whole thread and you'll get your answer.

I read it more than once but I can't understand it, one time your'e saying there is no hack required and the next time not.

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



Found the hack that would be perfect for this situation.. unfortunately it is a pretty old one

Turn off that forum "Moderate Threads" setting, and in the ACP Forum Permissions inteface, edit each usergroup for that forum, setting "Follow Forum Moderation Rules" to 'no' for the usergroups who you want to be moderated.

That will moderate posts also, not just threads.

Follow Forum Moderation Rules
If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue

Your question (which I quoted) asked how to allow one group to post new threads - there is no mention of posts and threads. AFAIK, you cannot split them.

That is what I asked for.
