moderated #BUG moderated topic not moderated for some users #bug

Jim Pruitt <jpruitt67@...>
Today I had a topic get heated and out of hand.
I ended up banning one member and still decided on a second
member. To let things cool down I set the topic to moderated. 2
messages came in for moderation in the next 2 hours but 4 hours
later 2 other messages were posted without moderation. I can't
understand why but suspect that because the 2 users that got their
message posted without moderation after the topic had been set to
moderated were 2 that had posted to the topic before it became
moderated.
This seems like a major bug to me. If a moderator sets a topic to moderated there should be no messages get posted without going through moderator approval. Thank you. Jim

If those members are set to “P” (“Override: not moderated”) they can post without approval to any topic, even moderated ones. Might want to check their posting status.

Sorry, just seeing Duane's post now. I am on "following only" and was not following so did not see his post until I myself posted.

The setting is there by request and for a reason, and I have a few important trusted members set to "P." -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

This brings up another question. Since the only
way those members would be unmoderated on my group would be
because I selected "approve and unmoderate" when their first
message was posted way back when. Are you saying that by
selecting that rather than approve then it overrides the topic
setting? Last night I also locked the topic. Is that going to
stop posts to that topic or will these same 2 (and maybe others)
be able to post to it anyway?

Approve and moderate should not have set then to override: not moderated. Those are different and if they are now “P”, someone had to have inadvertently set that by hand. I think this part of the system is very robust and thoroughly tested and very unlikely to be buggy. Although anything is possible. 😊

Nobody can post to a locked topic as long as you have not also deleted the topic. If you deleted it, people may be able to reply via the emails that are still on their inbox.
