I’ll summarize the points that caught my attention while writing [https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-automatic-post-review-triggers/328584:](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-automatic-post-review-triggers/328584:)

- **Review every post** doesn’t show any reason in the review queue. So this one is definitely the most difficult to track down.
- **Approve new topic unless allowed groups** “new\_topics\_unless\_allowed\_groups” is quite short compared to other reasons.
- **Approve unless allowed groups** says “replies” in the reason, even though all posts are affected. This can be confusing, especially on first posts, since the category setting actually only affects replies.
- **Category: Require moderator approval of all new replies/topics** could be improved to indicate whether the topic or the reply setting was relevant.
