Require Posts Be Approved
We would like to require that all posts from our users obtain our approval before being posted. Is there a global setting that requires all end users (non-admin) users post be approved by our admin before being posted?

Hey Bryan,
Yep, there is a setting that allows you to moderate all content posted by an end-user before it's publicly visible to other end-users to read. I've added a screenshot below so you know where to look within the guide settings to turn on the content moderation feature. :)
Hope this helps. :)
Best,
Amie

Hello Anne,Thank you so much for this great information. I already performed the steps you indicated in your email.The issue is that I cannot seem to locate the posts/comments in our community forums that are marked 'Pending' so that I can approve or reject them. I performed the additional steps below to see if I would be able to make this happen.Then, I created a 'user segment' titled, 'Hide and Approve or Reject Moderators' which seemed to save just fine. However, I have now tried to create a 'Moderator' group. When I attempt to select the 'user segment' titled, 'Hide and Approve or Reject Moderators'; in the 'Add moderators''Choose the user segment for this moderator group.'; it does not exist when I use the pulldown arrow.I have included a screen shot of the completed user segment, user segment edit window, and the Moderate edit window below.Any help you could give me here would be great.Segments:

Hi Bryan,
Thank you for the email update.
In regards to your concern, you can locate the posts/comments from your community by going here:
-
In Guide, click the Moderate content (
) icon in the sidebar, then click User content.
-
To take action on a post or comment, select the check box next to it (or click the title), and click one of the following:
- Approve to publish the post
- Reject to delete the post
- Mark as spam to move the post to your spam queue
You can also check our article, Moderating end-user content for more information about this.
Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead!
