XF 1.5 New thread without moderation

[Tealk]

Hi,

if i post a new thread in my "News" forum the thread doesnt get moderated:

but the rule says something different:


Could one help me out please?

Thanks

If the user you are posting as is a moderator (and has the requisite permissions to access the moderator queue) then your posts won't be moderated (as it'd be pointless as you'd be able to approve them anyway).

Why do you need to moderate your own post? Post it to approve. Or don't post it to disapprove. It's already been moderated - why do it again?

Thanks @Martok for this information
@Bill Stuntz Because we are a Team and with this way the other Team members can read the post and edit the post bevor user see it.

Then either use an existing staff-only forum or create on specifically for this purpose of drafting posts. Staff can then read and edit it before is moved to the correct forum where users will then see it.

Thank you. I didn't understand the reasoning behind your question. Martok's suggestion makes sense to me. We have an admin/mod-only forum that's occasionally used for that purpose. We fight it out in private, and the survivors post the result - or not.

If i use this way, users get a "there is a new thread alert"?

For them it will be a new thread.
For staff (provided they saw it earlier) it won't be.

 

[Bill Stuntz]

For the person who created the thread, it won't be new. For the REST of the staff, it WILL be new.

The problem will be if EVERYONE is editing the same post - they won't get notification if a post they've already viewed is edited.
The way we do stuff like that is that everyone posts stuff like "I think 'this phrase' should be changed to 'something else' - it looks better to me" in their own posts in the thread. When consensus is reached on that phrase, someone incorporates the agreed changes into the "master copy" of the post that's being composed. In theory, the "master copy" is the best version so far. When enough people agree that it's "good enough" the "master copy" post is copied into public view.
