Moderation based on role? - Premoderation | Forum

Hi,

Can this plugin do moderation based on role?

For eg.

Users in the 'Free' role have their content moderated.

Users in the 'Paid' role do not have their content moderated.

Thanks,

Matt, this requires a complex code modification.

Sure, I understand that. But for moderation for sites using roles, and paid membership etc. It seems a natural way forward for a moderation plugin.

I don't mind paying premium costs, for plugins that make moderating of a busy site possible.

Mods don't need to moderate trusted members, or other moderators - so role based moderation seems much needed.

Matt, your request is quite individual - this is not the general way the moderation is used for.  The main purpose of the site moderation is preventing the site users from posting  adult, illegal and other inappropriate content. How can you be sure that the paid member won't start post illegal content once they upgrade their account, even by mistake?

Your comment seems erroneous, and a misunderstanding of online community moderation. If a trusted member posts something mistaken, then a mod will deal with the issue individually and  have a word via pm.

With roles, new members need to prove themselves, or indeed pay, and agree to the sites terms and conditions. Pre-moderation of roles, until mods become satisfied that they are respected sites members, or in breach of T&C.

Quite why you think this is and individual request, when it is, and has been, standard moderation policy and also behavior of others system tools for over 2 decades of online community, leaves me astonished :/

Matt, you are right, we are considering the situation in terms of membership levels. i.e. roles are the membership types base and is used as the separator for the site access. 


As far as I've understood from your last reply you are talking about something like Oxwall leaders (Oxwall users role). In other words, if Oxwall forum had been configured so forum topics and posts should be moderated before publishing -  it would be logically not to moderate the topics and post of Oxwall leaders. Am I right? If so, your suggestion sounds quite essential. I will forward your request to developers, they will see what can be done here.


Thank you for the idea.


P.S. If I took you wrong again - could you please provide me with the examples of the way you want it to work.

No problem,

It seems like I have managed to explain myself. Having the option to have role based re-moderation equips site owners and moderators to be able to manage their communities effectively, without overburdening them with moderating tasks. This means the everyone can enjoy their community experience that bit more.

Kindest,

Matt

matt is right. This mod just does half of its job. It is not necessary to moderate the actions of every user group. I just need premoderation for new users. Please add this function to your plugin.

As well... In some scripts, the ability to put an individual user, onto a moderation mode; Stands as a very useful feature that moderators utilise to keep the community happy.

Matt is completely right, I agree with his take on it. It's the correct way to move forward with large websites, as the larger you become, the more workload your moderators are going to have. Moderating content from people you trust just takes time you don't need to take. The flag function can be used if they decide to stray from the rules.


Also, for sites that employ Premium memberships, it's very unlikely for a paid member to post things you don't want them to, as they don't want to lose their membership.

I understand you've already considered these suggestions, but I'm posting here to say I'm interested and willing to purchase this plugin if it has per-role feature. I like that you're able to select specific plugins and features like blogs/avatars -- that's also a great feature which you've already implemented. Now it just needs to be completed.

Completely agree with Bryan and of coarse Matt. Also expressing my interest.

Yes, we have plans to develop the possibility for the Premoderation plugin  to work with the User Roles in one of the upcoming update. But, we don't have any details or time estimate to share for now.

It has been quite awhile since this issue was raised, has it user role based moderation been implemented yet?  If so I'd buy it, otherwise not.

Premoderation base on user role is an excellent feature. I was going to buy it, but now I'm hesitating.
