Approve unless allowed groups setting

From reading the topic, I would like to clarify what your needs are. I am unsure specifically what you want the approval flow to be. Can you please clarify if these are correct:

• all first posts by trust level 0 & 1 should be approved
• all posts by trust level 2 should not be approved

Correct for the first statement.
For the second statement, I wish “all posts by trust level 1 and above should not be approved” (this is why in my current settings I put TL1)

@bloomexperiment

If these are what you want, I suggest these settings:

First setting: The first setting should already handle those points because it puts the first post by TL0 & TL1 (new and basic users) into the approval queue. If you want the first 3 posts by TL0 & TL1 users to go into the approval queue, then you would change it to 3.

Agreed.

Second setting: If you want all posts by trust level 0&1 users to require approval—the whole time while they are trust level 0&1 (not just the first post)–then you would change the second setting to be "admins, moderators, trust level 2”.

I would like all posts by trust level 0 users to require approval—the whole time while they are trust level 0 (not just the first post), so if I understand your instruction, I would put TL1 in that setting is it?

Third setting: The last site setting in that picture has to do with TOPICS rather than individual posts. If you change this and not the second setting, a user will be able to still make several replies to other people’s topics, but their first topic will still need to be approved.

Understood.
