Thanks for letting me know.

What I see in [the discussion discussion of balancing moderation power vs end-user experience](https://meta.discourse.org/t/end-user-pre-approval-queue-experience-can-be-much-improved/68307/7) is interesting and gives us hope.  
This is a feature that I say every forum software should have. I believe in flow of posts and user power but sometimes content needs to be moderated. In our case, we do not want certain institutions or individuals working there mentioned and one of the reasons is to avoid any type of litigation.  
The reason to not to check all posts in all categories prior to publishing is trust on the user. In some areas, posts go live and moderated after, and some where naming is more likely to occur, are moderated before.

Thanks for the work and looking forward to see what happens with that feature.
