RrVPfX9cPtw59FpC 1,304 November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 Hello there. I need to think of a new way to start off my threads. Anywho I had an idea. Sometimes, I don't know if what I'm posting is against the rules or not (or not against the rules but frowned upon), and on those occasions, I will ask Jeric-chan, SCS-senpai, Aquila, or someone else for approval. However, I think it'd be quite useful if there were a "wait for approval from moderator" button when posting a thread/comment. That way, if someone does something against the rules, it will not be approved, and hopefully they will not receive a warning. I'd asked about something similar a while back, but I was wondering if someone could volunteer for mod queue, not something like this. Anywho, I think it would be useful. Thanks for reading I can't post pictures, so: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9uihr0w71vc627f/Approvalfrommoderator.PNG?dl=0 Edit: Wow. I'm surprised how many people have brohoofed(hooved?) this o_o Edit 2: Yep, keep them brohoofs coming. I know, I know, I'm pretty awesome. :3 31 This signature was removed for being too obnoxious and arrogant. -Makusu2 By the way, if you're talking to me in a thread, please quote my previous post.

boiteporte 591 November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 Even though I would never use this feature because I know if what I want to post is against the rules or not, I can understand why some people would want a feature like this. So, yeah, this does sound like a good idea. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,851 November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 Makusu, what you proposed is a great idea, and we have/are discussing options and looking into it. No guarantees on implementation or a timeline since there are dev tasks that are listed on deck which have a higher priority, but we absolutely think your concept is solid. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Sir Hugsalot 9,348 November 19, 2014 Administrator Share November 19, 2014 I think it is a really good idea, there were few times when I did not post something because I was unsure if it would not go against the rules. I think same option for statuses and blogs would be nice as well 3 As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person.

I didn't expect such a positive response!

Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 I support this idea. I feel that part of the reason why a lot of bans happen is by the person not knowing the line on what's OK to post and what's not okay to post, making the ban not their fault. This idea would certainly lower the bans and suspensions. I'm pretty sure other sites do have this and go fine. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks 10,816 November 21, 2014 Share November 21, 2014 This idea would certainly lower the bans and suspensions. I'm pretty sure other sites do have this and go fine. Which may also lower the suspicion and mistrust of the moderation staff here as well as the amount of general drama when bans do in fact occur. 3 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,860 February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Necro-ing this thread so I can ask if this is this going to be a thing some day. It got a good amount of support, I reckon. I personally think it's a great idea, especially since I ask for a lot of mod approvals for my posts. It'd save a lot of time for both members and staff alike and make the flow of the community much simpler. I didn't look to see if there was a thingy for it on the IPB forums and I don't know if it is something that would have to be built from scratch or not, but I personally think this to be a worthwhile investment for the entirety of the site, even if it had to be built from the ground up 2 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!!

Mirror Silver Spoon 125 February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 I agree with comments need to be moderated, and a "wait for approval from moderator or staff button" is a good way to do so. 1 Help my egg, please.

mars 4,862 February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 I still think is a really good idea!! Especially if a member is unsure if something is breaking the rules and may be too shy to ask a moderator personally. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,880 February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Ladies and gentlemen, we now enter the 'Practical Great Ideas - Held back from lack of techy guys to implement off-hand suggestions!' hour. Whoopsie~ Cynicord is at it again~ Historically, it was always difficult to have tech guys do freelance work on implementing minor feature suggestions, because all the tech power that the staff could find ended up being forced to split between the larger issues (site maintenance and on-going Poniverse projects). If there's more tech guys now than there always had been, someone please be sure to enlighten me~ owo If not, that'd be a prime reason why this topic is still sitting here. All the members, moderators and customer service-oriented admins on the site can love an idea to pieces, but if there's still a lack of tech guys who have the time and ability to implement suggestions, everything halts. Sounds like an interesting enough idea by itself. If such a button could link into the Report system, that'd cut down on the 'contact the staff through support tickets if you're unsure of a post' thing, and at the same time streamline the entire process so people would put iffy stuff into prior-approval more often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohbdy 4,108 February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 Then I guess someone needs to throw a rock at their window, to get a response in here. x3 No need to do that. The devs have already implemented that feature. Throwing a rock would be rather rude after what they've done for us! x) To make use of this feature, enter the advanced editing mode (aka, "More Reply Options") and look at the Post Options bar on the right. Then, simply check the "Wait for Approval" box and post as usual. So, with all that said, let's give our devs a round of applause! It's our hope that this option will allow users to participate with confidence, and to get moderator feedback before their posts are published for the world to see. Now people have even less of an excuse to post recklessly. Be sure to let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Happy posting! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is something that can be brought back in the future too @Steve Piranha Nah, it's just that I post images in the fanclubs quite frequently, but some I like to post are saucy. You know, bikinis, sexy horses and girls and stuff. But there's a chance some of those may cross the line of what's acceptable or not around here, and I'm overly cautious about that 2 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand you there very well. No offense of course - That would be absolutely not what I meant. Edited April 30, 2017 by Rikifive 1 Playing Genshin Impact?

ZethaPonderer 2,199 July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 I know that sometimes I post things where I lose my sanity there in the process so I might post inappropriate and rude stuff. So to have this feature would be nice while the mods letting me know upfront what rule did I violate on which forum to make sure I keep track. Still can't find that wait for mod approval feature when posting anything. I'm searching all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then you can kindly ask moderators if they will review your post if you have doubts about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
