Improved Post Queue tooling
-
As the saying goes — squeaky wheel gets the grease
We've been receiving a fair bit of spam lately. Most of them are stopped from registering at all by the built-in spam-be-gone plugin, so the remaining few are usually manual attempts to post content.
Too bad the post queue stops them dead in their tracks
Dealing with them takes seconds... open the post queue, and reject the posts. You can even reject them all using the "Bulk Actions" button, but I like to go a step further and delete their entire account altogether.
When it comes down to it, the whole process takes 4 clicks. Go to their account, open mod tools, "Delete Account & Content", confirm. It takes a couple seconds, but that's a couple seconds longer than it should, so we integrated those tools directly into the post queue too:
At the same time, we had @vladstudio work his magic on the page, so the entire page is presented a little more nicely.
Stay tuned for a small announcement tomorrow (22 March) regarding NodeBB and the Harmony theme

A good functionality ^^

Hi @julian, we were dealing with a similar issue. We have started to use post queue and the number of spam posts went down.
The screenshot you posted here looks good. Is there any way how to turn it on already?
And is it possible to approve the user, not just a post/comment, so that next time the user posts/reply, it doesn't go into the post queue?
I know that this can be done with reputation, but you don't get reputation for just posting/commenting.
Thanks!

@Tomáš-Nesrovnal-0 may not be the perfect solution... I do this... for those active users in our forum, who are frustrated to be on the post queue, I just go to their accounts and upvote several of their posts... so they are not queued anymore... of course this is only for those who are active on the forum (with minimum 20-30 posts), for new users who are in the same situation, I just tell them to wait and contribute more to be taken off the post queue...

@crazycells This is exactly what I do on my forum.

We did this as well, but some of our moderators don't want to upvote posts that are not worth upvoting. They want to keep the value of their upvote
