Is it possible to do moderation before posting to the bb in miniBB?

thx

d.

Just activate 'email admin' in the setup file!
It will mail you (being admin) all entries made to your board and the link to it. You can login as admin and delete the posting.

Moderated postings are possible, meaning a normal user can only post into a specific forum, but not post a new topic.

If you mean moderated in the sense of 'admin confirms postings to show', forget this for a normal board. Once no moderator/admin isn't on, the forum would be dead and that's no good.

What if really want to confirm postings BEFORE they show on my board? How do i do that?

Yeah, I'd like to do that to.

How do I moderate the postings beforehand?

Thanks.

There is a premium plugin available, called "Pre-moderation".

Most of my users remain Anonymous.

It's a gossip board, and most people insist on being Anonymous.

I have very few registered users.

Out of those few registered users, I'd like maybe 3 or 4 to post
without moderation, but I don't want them to have moderation rights
as is the case if I add them to the
Moderators who can approve pending messages list.



In fact, I'd like all Anonymous users to be moderated,
and all registered users to me moderated,
except 3 or 4 who can post without being moderated.


The "Enable for new sign-ups and IDs listed below"
may not be enough because it deals with registered users,
meanwhile, anyone who remain Anonymous can post without being moderated.

The difference would be:

"Enable for Anonymous users and new sign-ups and IDs listed below"

non-registered users = Anonymous

I can shell some Paypal if necessary.
If you have to code something special for me.

Enabling pre-moderation for Anonymous users means you need to insert ID=0 in this list, and that's all. So all Anonymouses will be pre-moderated afterall. We can not control Anonymous users except that their ID is always 0.

Thank you, that was as simple as that.

Thanks a lot, just adding ID=0 to the list of users that ARE moderated does the trick.

Glad it helped!

Hello,

I'm looking for message board software that can do post moderation, i.e. each post needs to be approved by a moderator before it is made visible on the board.

It sounds like your software would do this, if I had the premoderation plugin installed. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the process for getting this plugin. Someone above menioned that it's a paid for plugin - could you tell me how much this costs?

Thanks,
Jim

I've looked again, and found this in the "Paid Extensions" section, with all details including price.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Team, we've got your pre-moderation plugin and I'd like to ask if it's possible to send a message to admin email that in forum are some posts they should be authorized? Because we don't want refresh pages everytime to check whether there are new posts for authorization...

There is an option built-in miniBB, which allows to report Admin via email each time when some message is posted. Option is called $emailadmposts, and you need to set it in setup_options.php to "1". Refer to manual for more.

Thank you, I thought that there should be some special options because of pre-moderation plugin. It works, thx.

Currently there are two different options, when messages from everyone are queued for approval, or just messages from specified and new registered users are queued so show penind messages.

Can you add a third option that's ONLY for selected registered users? I would like this option only for certain members that admin selects AND allow new members to post automatically. I just have a problem with a few members but don't have time to keep going in and approving for new members. If the new members have an issue posting, then they can be added to the "pending" message list.
