Hi,

this is feature request coming from our moderaters. They say that spam could be reduced if the 1st post of new users has to be moderated so spam accounts would be recognized before their content is online for other members to see.

I think this is a good idea, hence my post here. I'm open for suggestions!

Already possible with the use of "Require approval before content shows?" on a group, and then using Group Promotion to promote people to another group when their first post has been approved.

This topic has a bit more info on your options...

 

 

Ok, thanks a lot

Just for others finding this thread:

You don't have to "level up" the users to another group based on posts.

It's enough to set the following options under "Group -> (Your Group name) -> Edit -> tab Content"

Require approval before content shows? yes

Remove content moderation after 1 approved items of content (posts, comments, etc)

 

This way you don't need an additional group. It's exactly what our moderaters asked for. 👍

I do this already with two of my sites. Helps tremendously with spammers.
