XF 2.2 Is it possible to put an individual user on "post preview" mode?

This is surprisingly difficult to Google for. I swear, I've come up with nothing on this one. Bizarre.

Is there a way to set a single troublesome user to have all of their new posts or forum content need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes public? I believe the term is "post preview mode" from other forum softwares.

 

[frm]

Under General permissions


I'd create a new group with that setting (Post: Require Moderation, or something), then add that user to the new group.

Edit: Change to never if a new group to not conflict with an existing "Yes" group.

^ That

It makes it much easier to manage in the event you have other users who need to have similar restrictions applied.

You can also use the user group with the warning system to add members who accumulate a certain number of points.

Could you confirm my edit?

If Group A was Yes and Group B was No, but they were in both Group A and B, would Yes override No, and in such case, would Never be more appropriate?

Ding, ding ding... Never is the ruling permission over everything.

Thanks. It's 3AM here and realized the mistake 5 seconds or so after the post.

New user group, General permissions, Submit content without approval to Never.

Then, add this and future troublemakers to the new group.

That's a brilliant idea. I must've passed over that "Submit content without approval" hundreds of times and never gave it any thought. Phrasing it everything, apparently.

Much appreciated, friends!

Even worse, I set up a group for this some time ago and then forgot about it when a banned user who I intended it to be used for was finally allowed to return.
