A user, KevinBlandy, reports that the review queue for new users’ first posts is no longer functioning, despite previous settings. They note that posts from trust_level_0 users are no longer entering the review queue, which was working until May. osioke explains that the system is designed to require approval for all posts and topics from TL0 users unless specific settings are adjusted. They clarify that the system is built around the Trust Level framework and advise against modifying it. However, they suggest a potential workaround: reducing the requirements for users to reach Trust Level 1, which would allow posts to bypass the review queue. This is presented as a hack, with a warning against altering trust level requirements, as it could negatively impact the community.
For a new user, I only want to review his first post.
Here are my settings：
The system worked properly until May of this year and before. The first posts of newly registered users are subject to review.
But now it seems to be disabled, new registered users (trust_level_0) posting does not enter the review queue.
Is there something wrong with my settings?
Thank you!
When approve unless trust level and approve new topics unless trust level are set to 0; Trust Level 0 (TL0), then any post and any topic any TL0 user makes must be approved.
I can’t immediately see a way to allow you set it so you only need to approve one post, as it is baked into our Trust Level system to help new members participate and earn trust before contributing fully and it is something I wouldn’t recommend adjusting.
I do not in any way recommend the hack I mention below, as we always advice not to reduce the Trust Level requirements so you don’t inadvertently harm your community, please take them with a grain of salt.
A hack around this though could be you reducing what a user needs to get to Trust Level 1 (TL1). You can do this by adjusting the tl1 requires ... site settings so users get to TL1 faster and no longer need their posts approved.
