Egorkin Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 For guests, there is a form for creating a topic (you need to enter an e-mail) and it requires moderation. Is it possible to prevent guests from creating topics at all? I can't find the right setting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 You probably has Post Before Registering enabled. Disable it and remove permissions in the forums. You’re done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeCake Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 In addition to what Adriano shared, you can go to member groups in the ACP and verify that the guest group doesn't have posting permissions. If your guest posts are appearing without being associated with an account after being approved by a moderator, this is how it's happening. Post before registering doesn't require moderator approval as a function of being enabled, so that makes me think you might have guest posts turned on and the guests usergroup set to require moderator approval before posting.

CoffeeCake Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) @Egorkin: I think there may be more to this. We are seeing guest spam and do not allow guests to post. What are your settings with regard to link filtering? (ACP > System > Settings > Posting > Links) Edited April 1, 2021 by CoffeeCake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeCake Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I've confirmed this behavior and I think it's a bug. When using post before registering and a post triggers the profanity filter (either by way of having a link that isn't allowed or by having a word that triggers moderation through the profanity filter), the guest post (prior to registration being completed) triggers the approval queue.

Can you please submit a ticket? I'd like to take a look at this closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeCake Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 55 minutes ago, Ryan Ashbrook said: I found it, thanks. 🙂 Just logged into the client area and saw the initial response I got was that this would be a feature request and not a bug. Do you need me to create a thread in the feature request forum making a request that this behavior be modified? There may be some confusion in the support response. Post Before Registering is completely invisible to us out of the box until the person goes through with registering. That we'd be prompted to look at content submitted that is otherwise invisible and decide whether or not to approve it before they complete the registration seems like a flaw to me. If they don't complete the registration, it will delete itself. I'd offer that the profanity/link filter should only be triggered when the registration is complete and the post is about to be published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egorkin Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 So it's still a mistake.
