Currently, if Discourse is configured to require approval of posts unless the user has a certain trust level, those pending posts are not visible to their authors. I’m tasked with migrating an existing forum from another platform where this works differently, and one of the requirements is to prese…

An engineer who works with me has implemented this feature and we are now testing it locally. We would like to contribute it to the core. Is the @team interested in a PR with this functionality? It would require some additional effort on our part to clean the code up for contributing, so I’d like to…

Sure! As long as it doesn’t introduce any regressions or new dependencies, we generally accept PRs like this. We’d like screenshots of the UI included so it’s clear what’s happening, of course.

I recently tested the New member post queue and found the “Your post awaits approval” modal a bit off-putting. And this was on localhost when I expected it to happen. What was most disconcerting was that not being able to see the post, there was no visual confirmation of success. I don’t know if …

In our implementation, we’ve gotten rid of the “Your post awaits approval” message and other than that there are no UI changes. (Well, there is a site setting that enables the feature.) So, for the author of the post everything works as if his post was not held for moderation. No graying out or any…

Sounds OK but I think there might be edge case problems if the Mods don’t get to it in a timely fashion. eg. How do I _____? Newbie - you _____ Other - you ______ Newbie “Huh? that’s what I just said”

Well, that’s why there is a site setting to enable or disable this feature. So each community manager can decide for himself whether he wants it.

No, I think what he’s saying is that there must be UI visible to the user that clearly identifies the reply as “Not Yet Approved”. So I suggest adding this to the post somehow.

For us the opposite is an explicit requirement – i.e. to make it not obvious to the user that his post is awaiting moderation. So, what do we do?
