| Moderation Issues
Correct me if I'm wrong:
If "Require Approval" is set to No in Usergroup Admin and "Allow Comments" and "Upload Ads" are set to Yes, then the usergroup can also post feedback on the advertiser.
And if "Require Approval" is set to Yes in Usergroup Admin and "Allow Comments" and "Upload Ads" are set to Yes, then all those actions and feedback will go into a moderation queue.
There is no way to allow ads to be uploaded and comments posted without going into the moderation queue and still have feedback go into the queue. Further, there is no way to simply turn off Feedback separately.
Here's the issue:
1. If I turn on moderation then I will end up delaying display of anything that happens in classifieds. With it turned on, and in a preview to a few testers, everyone who posted a comment, posted it again because they didn't get the expected action. My forum is busy. If I turn on moderation, then I might as well take up residence all day and all night at my keyboard.
2. If I turn it off and simply moderate as I do my forums, I have no problem except that anyone can post false and damaging feedback and I have no ability to edit or delete it that I can find except to delete the feedback entry of any that were judged to be malicious from the MySql database. I can edit any comments or delete them and I can edit any ads or delete them. Yet there is no provision for treating Feedback as a separate entity or to edit out false ratings if necessary.
Am I missing something? Is there some way to modify the code so as to provide for individual selection by the Admin of the three things to moderate?
