Pre-moderation / Premoderation

Hi Paul,

Is there any way to prevent messages in pre-moderation queue from appearing in the Checker queue?

Thanks,

Vishal

Sorry! Currently there is no way.

Hi Paul,

I hadn't thought of this earlier but one of my members recently pointed to me that she sees spam in the checker even though they aren't live in the forums. Considering that Checker being used by majority of the members, I think you should consider this feature.

Best wishes,

Vishal

Could you provide some screenshots of such spam?
Also, if a user will see it again, let him not delete it, and re-send me his checker's data file by email.
Preferably, we may use private emails for that issue.

Paul,

By Spam, I actually meant messages in pre-mod queue. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry for confusion :) I've thought somebody is posting kind of spam messages in Checker. Nice it's not true.

I understand now what you are about - adding an extra function to Checker which doesn't keep Pre-moderated posts, right?

I think there may be some difficulty. I see the possibility of how Checker would skip all of such messages, before saving them to cache. But as soon the message goes live, the Checker will interpret it different way, and will still show in a queue "after" it was accepted from pre-moderation.

Also, considering Pre-moderation add-on may be used by multiple members, meaning you have entered it and see some messages doesn't mean they are all of the new messages since your last appearance. Some messages in a topic also can not be in Pre-moderation queue, but they can be in your Checker. Checker just allows to review the topic in whole.

So I think, you must some way live with it - if you have both add-ons installed, then
- first enter and review all Pre-moderated messages,
- then enter and review the Checker (all topics and messages in whole with possibly new messages from the non-premoderated members).

That should avoid the confusion of this effect - obviously, you should not enter the Checker first ahead of Pre-moderation. Quite a native habit to work on, I think.

That's what I do. However, before I review pre-moderated messages, my members happen to see them through Checker.

I initially interpreted it the same way ;)


Maybe it would make sense to disable Preview in Checker (provided you have it enabled).. Then user will only see the main title, not message preview.

Yes that's one solution, but even I will not see the preview then. They (previews) are very useful for me to review daily forum posts.

If the previewing is just what you are about, it could be easily enabled/disabled for admin only or certain persons.
Or, it could be enabled for all pre-moderators, but will be disabled for all other.
It's just a few extra code in Checker, I think...

I would be interested in the mod Paul!

You know my contact :) But I must say in advance that I can't handle it on an urgent basis.
