Thank you for past help. 
I am in the process of opening my ‘special interest’ Discourse community which will be opened to the general public.
My question is. I would like to moderate every post but will this be too ‘clunky’ for both me and the users? But, I want to avoid people trashing the group where possible.
I appreciate any comments that you may have. Tony
What do you mean by “moderate”?
If you’re talking about requiring staff approval for all new topics – or all posted replies – or both – that’s extra work on your end. Don’t know if you are solo or have a team of staff users. But slow approval could discourage new participants. There are settings to let you allow established users to post without screening, though:
If you mean moderation as in: keeping an eye on things and escalating problematic posts, Discourse’s community moderation features are designed so you don’t have to monitor every post yourself.
