Wolfie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 If it's set to approve the post, then everyone could see the post and it wouldn't require a moderator to approve it. I think you mean for it to somehow allow the member to edit it before a moderator sees it and that's not a good idea. If someone knows they have to edit it to get the post to be approved, then they might try to get around the filter in some other way so that the website/url is shown. Which makes for a good loophole for spammers to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Sammers Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I changed the line in my suggestion to "not approved". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Check this link: http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/2744-caps-automated-link-moderation/ You make a good point with possible misuse. Does IPB have a post edit history so you can see as a moderator how the post was edited in the history (edit history)? Unfortunately, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
