Agree. I had one just this morning. My (should be unnecessary) workround: open the post in a new tab. Return to the Approval Q and approve it. Return to the post in its tab, and delete it with reason.

Is it not possible to set the default sort order, per forum/node as required, to first post rather than last post and if so, would that be sufficient?

Word of caution, though. That will not stop someone from posting 5 benign posts, gaining promotion, and then going back to edit their posts to add spam - unless you also disallow editing by the OP either immediately or after a short period of time.

Have they actually done any action that is recorded in the log? The list isn't populated by user group or permission etc., it's populated by who did what.

This, maybe.

All depends on the circumstances. Warn, ban, spamclean, remove conversation permission from user (either individually, or preferably by adding a secondary usergroup), do nothing. etc. UserNotes where applicable.

In this circumstance, I'd FIRST edit the message in situ (I have that ability) to read something like "Redacted by Forum Admininstrator". Then, I'd release it to clear it from the Q.

Sorry - that's a stock photo; I don't think I have a pic of my actual bike. This is one of two in fact. I prefer flat bars vs drops. And I have a passionate hatred of derailleurs. So this has a central gearbox in the bottom bracket and a Gates belt drive. Oh....and it's electric.

This will depend on how you moderate your board. We proactively check everything that is posted. As we have quite a large team of Moderators some of whom share responsibility for (a) given forum(s), we don't want them to be repeating each others' work. We use an add-on "Moderator...

I should have been clearer. It's the situation where you have several Moderators, and several nodes, and some (or all) Moderators do NOT oversee all the nodes; each has their own "patch" which is only part of the whole. That is what is not readily set up.

Sadly lacking in XF's permissions setup and the subject of a long-outstanding change request I made. You can't allocate specific Moderator permissions for a given node by UserGroup; only at an individual node<>user level. The node can be a category (with no posts of its own) or a parent node...

The right way to go about this (or many other similar conditional permissions) is by use of secondary usergroups as PaulB says. No addons needed. All users by default do not have this permission. The permission is granted by membership of a secondary UserGroup. You "promote" users into this...

AdminCP. Logs > Spam Cleaner Log . Find required user, hit "restore". (Does not remove entry from StopForumSpam, etc., if you made one. That has to be done by correspondence). For future ref, you can, I believe, set a limit on the number of posts a user has which, if exceeded, disables the...

I'll categorise users thus: obvious bans - spammers, crooks, serial miscreants and so on. At the point of banning, that decision is all but final. We don't normally delete such accounts so in reality they could be restored, but that is rare. less obvious cases. Define these as you will. In...
