When will Admin/moderator be able to moderate replies

Hai, I have being using your plugin for some days now and I have explored alot of possibilities with it and am super excited with what it offers. Please I am really interested in being able to moderate topic replies, the website I run needs me to be able to checkmate every action to ensure orderliness

Hello @valexxy

Post approval/moderation is not available yet and is planned for a future update. However, you can subscribe to your forum to get notified about new topics and posts in the subscriptions-area.

Is this available yet, I like the idea of a guest being able to post a reply. However, I want to be able to approve their reply to a post. I do see the option for their post to be approved when starting a new topic, however not for when they reply to a post.

No, not yet.

There was only 1 new minor version of Asgaros since Thomas’ reply on August 24th and it’s not part of the release notes…

Any idea what this is not available? I mean it partially works right? You can do it for new topics in that they have to be approved, just wondering why its not just a simple matter to do it for reply’s? Maybe there is more to it then that?

Hello @j86schroeder

Basically it is not difficult to implement the approval of posts itself. The main problem are the database-queries used for different functionalities like unread-status, last-post, etc. While it is easy to find the last post of a forum, its getting more complex when thousands of topics in a forum could contain dozens of unapproved posts and/or topics. This change requires a lot of tests and adjustments to ensure that the performance will not decrease drastically.

Hi @asgaros

Thanks for your response, do you have any alternatives to this? Or another way I can moderate all posts? I don’t think this particular website will have that many posts, so approving all comments, should not be to burdensome. It would be nice where someone can post a reply/comment without the burden of having to register. I can then approve the post ensuring its not spam or something that has nothing to do with this website.

Have you tried to add a captcha for guest-postings to avoid spam-messages? For approving there is currently no fast implementation available without breaking other functionalities of the forum.
