You need to modify core files. It's open source so everything is possible. However I can't provide the exact solution because it appears to be your custom question.

Hi Paul/Team,
Is there a way to grant pre-moderators the power to add/remove specific members to/from the pre-moderation queue ... without surrendering complete admin rights?

I think so... but it would require to reprogram this add-on a lot. There is no easy way or couple-of-lines fix.

Is it possible to prevent displaying signatures of members (new) if their messages are under pre-moderation?

My apologies! I forgot that I couldn't prevent premoderated messages from being displayed instead of displaying "This message is pending approval.".

It's possible to skip displaying premoderated messages in whole - you may check up the solution contained in posts_not_visible_hack.txt file of the add-on's package. But this solution is not quite perfect - the script will just "remove" the premoderated messages, but won't affect the total pagination of messages per page. So if you let's say have 20 messages or topics per page displayed, and 5 of them are under pre-moderation, only 15 will be shown.

I was wondering if it could be enable for new users who has under 50 posts.. like you have for everyone and for new accounts and ID lists..

So is it possible?

Currently it's not implemented, but I wouldn't say it's impossible. It only requires a lot of modifications.

Yes there's a downside to it and it confuses many users. However, with the original solution, even though the message is not displayed (shows "This message is pending approval."), which is really nice, the signature is displayed.

You may try the following addition: to the parseMessage() function's code add the following (if the function doesn't exist, create it; if it does exist, just add the code before the return statement):

You should change 'user_custom2' to the field name in database, which is used as a Signature.

It works on my end and I've uploaded it to miniBB demo, so it appears to work there as well.

This approach may be used for File Upload add-on as well, because it also displays attached files, even if the message itself is pending approval.

Thanks Paul! Works great!

Hi Paul,

Is there any way to prevent messages in pre-moderation queue from appearing in the Checker queue?

Thanks,

Vishal

Sorry! Currently there is no way.

Hi Paul,

I hadn't thought of this earlier but one of my members recently pointed to me that she sees spam in the checker even though they aren't live in the forums. Considering that Checker being used by majority of the members, I think you should consider this feature.

Best wishes,

Vishal

Could you provide some screenshots of such spam?
Also, if a user will see it again, let him not delete it, and re-send me his checker's data file by email.
Preferably, we may use private emails for that issue.
