Forum Moderation Schemes

Moderation of forum postings and article comments managed by the Forum plug-in is controlled by moderation schemes. The moderation scheme that selected determines what initial moderation stated is assigned to a forum posting or comment when it is created. Currently the Forum plug-in supports two moderation schemes:

Pre-moderation

Postings are initially assigned a state of pending??. This means they will not be published until they have been approved by a moderator.

Post-moderation

Postings are initially assigned a state of not-reviewed. This means they are published immediately, but may be subsequently withdrawn by a moderator.

For more information about the set-up required to enable moderation schemes in Forum content types, see the Forum Plug-in Guide.

Moderation schemes are not available for other types of moderated content, such as user-written blogs.
