The Old Man Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 On 4.5.4, I've an established, reputable member who posted a reply to a topic and it needs approval, simple enough, but I have no idea why! I've never had this happen before. The member reported their post wondering why it wasn't appearing as normal. There are no links in the post, no bad language. I must be visually impaired, there must be a reason stated somewhere, surely, but I can't see it in the post area or in the moderator CP., aside from it being listed for approval. Any idea where the reason is mentioned? Thank you.
bfarber Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Typically this is from a link or word filter, or posting in an area that explicitly requires approval unless the group can bypass the require approval status.
The Old Man Posted December 3, 2020 Author Posted December 3, 2020 Thanks @bfarber Mysterious as none of those applied in this case. Is there a way to log the cause/reason for the automated triggering the approval requirement, somewhere in the logging system or the ModCP? Maybe it is stored as a value somewhere that could be accessed with a hook and then displayed/logged.
bfarber Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 The reason a post is held for moderator approval isn't really logged when the post is made, so there's no where we could retrieve it from right now to display. If you submit a ticket, we might be able to investigate on your site directly and help you identify the reason. The Old Man 1
The Old Man Posted December 3, 2020 Author Posted December 3, 2020 Thanks, no worries. It hasn't happened again. Looking through it, I think it may have been a false positive on a loose matching word. bfarber 1
