XF 1.5 Moderating queue

How do I stop new members from posting until they are considered OK.

Set Follow message moderation rules permission to allow for the group whose users you want to moderate. You might want to use it in combo with the Group Promotion though.

Set Follow message moderation rules permission to allow for the group whose users you want to moderate

That is incorrect.


Firstly set "Follow message moderation rules" to Not Set (No) for the Registered user group (which should be everyone's primary user group).

Secondly create a user group and in this set "Follow message moderation rules" to Allow.

Thirdly create a user group promotion that will promote users to the new user group (it'll add it as a secondary user group) after say 5 posts.

New users will then have their posts moderated. Once they make 5 posts which are moderated and approved they will be promoted and then can post freely.

Thank you very much for these replies. However, they do not answer my question I want to stop new registered from posting until I confirm they are not scam or trolls.

I want to stop new registered from posting

Remove the post new threads and replies option from the Registered user group.

Then manually promote them to a user group which has those permissions allowed.

Thank you Brogan. I have simply forgotten where I was able to quarantine new registered members until they had posted a certain number of posts.

Martok already explained how to do that - it's also explicitly covered in the help manual: https://xenforo.com/help/user-group-promotions/

Moderated posts will appear in the queue at the top left.
