[XB] Moderate New Replies: Thread-Based Approval Controls 2.0.1

Require approval for new replies in individual XenForo threads before they become publicly visible.

Enable reply moderation from a thread's tools menu or toggle it for selected threads through inline moderation. Keep an active discussion open while reviewing new contributions in XenForo's approval queue. Existing posts remain unchanged.

Features:​

• Per-Thread Reply Moderation: Select "Moderate new replies" in the thread tools menu to require approval for future replies. Select "Stop moderating new replies" to turn it off.
• Inline Moderation: Toggle reply moderation for multiple selected threads from the thread list.
• Flexible Permissions: Allow users to manage moderation in their own threads or any thread, with permissions configurable by user group and forum.
• Moderation Bypass Controls: Separate permissions allow posting without approval in moderated threads or only in the user's own threads. An option lets you ignore XenForo's standard "Submit without approval" and "Approve/Unapprove" permissions; the add-on's own bypass permissions still apply.
• Thread List Status Icon: Identify threads with reply moderation enabled directly in the thread list.
• Optional Thread Notice: Show a notice explaining that new replies require approval.
• Find Moderated Threads: Use a dedicated find-threads page or a forum thread list filter to locate threads with reply moderation enabled. Access to the dedicated page requires permission.
• Exceptions in Moderated Forums: An optional setting lets you turn off reply moderation for individual threads in forums that normally require reply approval.
• REST API Output: The thread's reply moderation setting is included in REST API output.
