In my community, I have set the `approve unless trust level` and `approve new topics unless trust level` to TL1, which means that TL0 posts needs to be approved. Then, I noticed that many TL0 users didn’t and still don’t know when their post gets approved or rejected and are often getting confused.

* * *

Therefore, I would like to propose a feature that will send a notification to the user, whose post pending approval and it has been approved / rejected / edited by a mod/admin.

* * *

## Approved:

In the notification section, there can be a `👍 Approved` notification, which will let the TL0 user know that their post has been approved and it has been posted.

* * *

> ⚠ **Update: The Rejected and Edited isn’t something that has to be added, as it may annoy some users. You can scroll down though and check my suggestion**

## ~~Rejected~~

~~Same thing, in the notification section there can be a `👎 Rejected` notification and the user will understand that their post has been rejected.~~

* * *

## ~~Edited:~~

~~Same with the **Approved** , with only addition → an automated message from `@system` that will state what has been edited and who edited it. Example~~

~~**Title:** `Post / Topic has been approved, but edited`~~

~~**Topic body:** `This is an automated message from discourse to let you know that your topic / post, that was pending approval, has now been approved, but edited by:`~~

~~`@name` - `edit`~~

* * *

Let me know what you think or if it has already been proposed. Sorry if it’s in the wrong category, my first time proposing something. 😊
