Hi, I have a difficulty with that setting: approve unless allowed groups. This is my setting (TL1 to TL4 have been set, screen capture is in French): [screen-capture (Captioned by AI)] Based on the above setting, I expected my TL2 users posts not to be requiring approval, but they are. I may be…

Are there any “review” settings, such as “review every post”, that are not default?

Yes but posts queued in my case are not the first ones, so there is something else playing up.

There are a bunch of different things that could be going wrong on you site, and helping you is going to be a game of whack a mole for the rest of us.

Well, no, that hypothesis was not confirmed today since a TL2 user posted a reply that went again to the approval queue even though the setting “category experts posts require approval” was disabled.

I wonder if the issue I have might be related to the minimum scores because for example I have this analysis: [An image of a digital display showing a form titled "Notation de l'élément a examiner." (Captioned by AI)] In particular “minimum score to hide the message” is at 8.0 and my user is at …

As Tobias mentioned, it will be very hard to debug which settings are affecting this, especially without being to see your site and all the settings you’ve changed since it sounds like you’ve made a lot of changes (including category settings and so on) Could you search “approve” in site settings a…
