Hey there,
I know there might be a topic about this but I couldn’t find it, and I’m pretty new to being a Discourse admin so it’s kind of hard to figure out. Basically, we need a moderator for each category with the moderator shield icon who cannot do things like suspend users and check emails but can deal with flags and do most admin actions on posts in their respective category. In site settings, I have enabled the category moderator setting but I’m not sure how to use it or what it’s actually doing. Could someone please explain how this works? Preferably step by step, as I’m fairly new to the platform?
I’m sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I promise I searched first. I also assumed the tag is used for posts like this but I might be wrong. Thanks!
Then go to the settings tab. Below the “moderation” heading, you should see the dropdown to select groups who should be able to help moderate the category.
Okay, let me know if you have any ideas. Right now they have regular shields but I’d like to be able to distinguish between moderators and category mods.
Changing the color of the shield of moderators should be possible. You can find the CSS code in
Maybe you could also grant a custom badge to the moderators of each category and use Post Badges to show that as an icon next to the username. Though, unlike the shield, which is only visible in the category where they are a moderator, the badge would be visible on all posts.
Group flairs are also an option to highlight a group membership.
I imagine you could likely use group flair as well with CSS to not display when not in their moderated category. Or maybe CSS to replace the mod should in their category?
