Force Moderation on All Posts

[vkoves]

Is there a way that I can force moderation for all posts, and disable the spam/approval process? I would like all posts to have to be approved by a moderator, and then user can individually be "approved" and "blacklisted" instead of it being done automatically. I tried some overrides to accomplish this, but that has not worked so far.

Any suggestions, or is it possible this will be added in the future?

Forem.moderate_first_post = false in config/initializers/forem.rb.

This doesn't work. After testing, it just disables all moderation, which is the opposite of what I want. This is also what you said here when someone was trying to prevent moderation.

So is there any way I can prevent users from being "approved" and force every single post to be moderated?

After digging through the code, this override let me do it:

 # We don't want forem auto moderating stuff, so let's do this
  Forem::Post.class_eval do
    def skip_pending_review
        approve! unless user && true #user.forem_moderate_posts?
    end
  end

Is there an official way that I am missing (didn't see one in the documentation)?

Thanks again, forem's been a real treat.

Ah, I understand now. Yes you can override it like that to accomplish what you want.
