XF 2.1 Posts Moderated

[Robert9]

To fight against a human spammer i have installed an addon from AndyB with the name

Moderate new members 1.4​

New posts from new members with less than 5 posts are set to "moderated";

Today a user has written, why his posts are not seen in the forum.
A check in phpMyAdmin shows me 46 posts from the last days with

message_state = moderated

but i dont have any information about these posts in the mod-queue.


Now my question: How it is possible that a post has message_state = moderated
and is not shown in the mod-queue?

Is there any other information, trigger, entry needed?

You need to make sure you have the right permission in place to approve/disapprove posts/threads.

 

[KSA]

ACP> Groups & permissions > Moderators >your username> Forum moderator permissions

• View unapproved threads / posts ✔
• Approve / unapprove threads / posts ✔

same for profile comments

I am admin and have set everything to yes.
permissions[forum][viewModerated] = yes ...

My question is, if there is more data in tables, when a post is set to moderated than
message_state = moderated

Admin is not a moderator, you need to be assigned as a moderator as well.

Maybe you're right, and I don't fully understand what I'm clicking on in my forum; but if it were true that one has to be a moderator to do something that cannot be set via permissions, it would mean that the entire system would no longer be consistent at this point. And I don't want to believe that! Everything in Xenforo is regulated by permissions, or at least it should be. My admin account has never been a moderator, but it has always had all the rights that exist, except for the usual two or three that one doesn't want to have.
