Age and dob users can toggle on or off. No way of stopping them…. You can default it as off but they can put it back on, which is frustrating to say the least

How have you worked it out as 'medium risk' may i ask? This is my issue with these risk statements they become a subjective judgement call by the owner doing the risk assessment... If you have CSAM scanning and sent all links to manual approval for instance and had no history (thank goodness) of...

Was looking for a little bit of help please. We are trying to use Spam Phrases to send any external URLs posted in a thread to the approval queue BUT allow internal links to our own forum threads to be posted, as we link back a lot to our information care guide threads within posts. Have used...

That sort of works, is does give them access to reports but that is no big deal.

Hello I am tying to give the a mini mod group (forum buddies) the power to approve/unapprove posts in approval queue to help the main mod team out. They have soft delete/move and manage thread already and that works, but just can't get the approval queue to show for them..... any ideas...

What would you have to 'knobble' on your forum do you believe? The site i help admin, we are removing the PM feature to make complying with Child Risk Assessment a little more easier and mitigating the risk of unsavoury unmoderated discussions . It was not a particularly used feature according...
