Hi -

We are using YAF V2.1.2 wih moderate turned on. When a user posts the moderator is notified and can approve their post. Everything is working. Is there a way to exempt a user from having their posts moderated? We'd like to let users who are following the rules to be able to see their posts show up right away. I've gone through the settings but haven't seen anything.

If I wanted to add this where would I start? I have made some modifications to our YAF install but not to the YAF code itself. The mods I've made interface with the YAF DB independently to post messages and so on by calling SQL stored procedures I've written. I can't think of a way to do that for this issue so I think I'll need to delve into the YAF C# code if it isn't available.

Thanks!

Pierce

No that is not possible with YAF at the moment, only mods and admins are excluded from post moderation

Any updates on this? I too have a need to be able to have certain users to have their posts show up without moderation even though the forum is pre-moderated. I guess I could make those users moderators, but I don't really want them to be moderating posts or getting emails when new posts are created.

On other forum products, they basically have an option in the equivalent of the "Roles" function to require members of that role to have their post moderated. Other roles with access to the same forum would not require moderation.

I could see three possible solutions

1. Access Masks. Add another choice "Moderate Posts" to the "No Access", "Read Only", "Member Access", "Moderator Access", and "Admin Access"

2. Base moderation on "Reputation". Users with more than a specified number of points would not be moderated. As an Admin, I can boost or reduce the number of points a particular user has to get the desired access for the user.

3. Artificially play with the number of posts a user has. YAF already has the ability to exempt from moderation those users who have a specified number of posts. But don't like to artificially play with the count of post not knowing what else that would disturb independent of the fact that the count of posts is no longer accurate.
