Follow-up to this topic:
The plugin appears not to have been updated for at least 6 years.
Has anyone tested it recently or know of a similar alternative?
Thanks in advance.

It’s a workaround, but I think you could achieve this by placing the users you want to strictly moderate in a group and then work with these settings maybe:
So if you set these to trust_level_1, and keep the specific users in TL0, that would only apply the need for approval to them.
Or, if you don’t want to restrict them in other ways and not use the trust levels, add everyone to a specific group (“the good guys”), except that single user, and use that group in this setting instead of trust levels.

That’s an interesting idea, thanks.
Does this setting also apply to replies from the restricted group?
Would it also work if we created a new group called Restricted and only add the specific users to it?
Would this override their trust levels? In other words, we create a group that has user X, Y, and Z.
Two of them are TL0 and one is TL1, for example.
The first setting applies to posts (so replies), the second to topics.
I don’t think it would override their trust levels.
Well, the settings only work one way, to allow, not to restrict. So, no, atm that route doesn’t work. But it’s an interesting idea imo, might be worth making a new Feature topic.

First of all, the forcemoderation plugin still works.
This can be done with my Discourse Dynamic Groups plugin.
- Create a group Restricted, put the users into it.
- Create a group Allowed, set it to dynamic with the rule
trust_level_1 AND NOT restricted - Add “Allowed” to the “approve unless allowed groups” setting

If I may ask, how recently was it tested as working?
Obviously, if it does work this would probably be the best solution.
