Post Quarantine [library support]

[kadona]

Wormpolis : Would you mind telling me what this means

'If you want to quarantine all posts in a board from the same user(s): select the members in array, leave post count blank'

I do not know what is meant by 'members in array'.  There is no such word there at all.   I have the post count at 5 for new members.  But if there is a member with 100 posts that I want to quarantine, I cannot change the 5 already in place.  Yet above, it says leave post count blank.

Do I use the second block for this, at the same time, leaving the first block with '5'?

I am trying to do a forum Search to identify ALL previously quarantined posts that were not approved for posting. I cannot search by names/thread/board--I want to search only by "quarantined status not subsequently approved". Is that possible?

So if we want to stop people who disable java from posting, do we use this code?

Put this in your Global Header for it to effect your entire forum, or the Main Header for it to effect a limited number of pages, the profile page included..

<!-- ENSURE FOOTER CODE IS IN PLACE WITH THIS CODE!! -->
<noscript><center><font size="3"><b>Please enable JavaScript to view this forum.</b></font></center><br></noscript>
<div id="hideForum" style="display: none;">

And this in the Footer...

</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// DO NOT REMOVE THIS CODE WITHOUT REMOVING THE HEADER CODE!!!

document.getElementById('hideForum').style.display = '';
// -->
</script>

Also what percentage of traffic would have javascript disabled as a guesstimate?

If you have a list of certain members you want to keep a watch on, then put their names in the members list.  if you want to watch just that one member, then just put their name in the list.  array is just another word for list.  dont try to combine a bunch of rules in one block.  if you have seperate rules, then use seperate blocks

quarantine data is stored in keys, and keys are not searchable by the system.  the best you could do is look at "recent posts" link in info center and it would list them as you went through pages.  if you have the companion it would even add them back into the notifications.

I didnt write that, but it looks like it just hides content.  keep in mind some bots dont need to SEE content to know its there.

I have no way of giving an eductaed guess on that.  legitimately blocking for security reasons would be a fair number of people.  there will be some people who dont even know how to turn javascript on and they dont know its off.  blind people might have it turned off because it interferes with their text readers.  some bots turn it off as a way of bypassing security features.  Google might have some real data if you search for it.

So is it possible to write code to prevent guests with javascript off from posting? Like in the layout code maybe, an if statement that checks if guest and javascripton before showing the reply buttons? Pretty sure someone else noted that a mobile user got through in this thread, so I'm probably not the only user who thinks this feature would be good.

[Wormopolis]

mobile users will always get through. the mobile app runs its OWN layout. It doesnt include ANYTHING you have added.

There is a plugin that prevents the forum from running if javascript is turned off ( though i don't know how that would work because plugins require javascript to run )

[Wormopolis]

exactly. that only works if the browser runs the desktop version. the mobile app doesnt run extra h/f files where content and plugins reside.

Hi, I was wondering, let's say if I set a quarantine rule to affect all members below a certain postcount, what if a user just spammed, lets take 5 as an example, say I set a quarantine rule of 5 posts, what if a user spammed to 25 posts before I could approve any of them, would their last 20 automatically show? if it could that's not good because a user could just spam to get past the limit.

[Tins]

I don't have time to go through all these pages of info but I was just wondering if there's some sort of notification that I can get when someone posts a post that needs review. I am worried I'll miss someone's post and I don't want to do that

Also in response to mattyboo1, I used an alternate account and posted twice after the 2 post limit I'd set and posts 3 and 4 showed up on the boards so the answer is yes they could spam to get past the limit.

The quarantine doesn't work on this Facebook theme I got. I have to switch to an old one to accept users, any solutions?

[Wisconsin]

An email notification when a new quarantined post comes in would be nice other than the "new post" emails that are received something that says there are post awaiting approval. The companion puts the notifications up by the menu but that doesn't help if you aren't logged in.

It would be a welcome addition to a plug-in that has already started working well for us.

Something that has always puzzled me is how come some regular members seem to be able to read the quarantined post, even thought when they reply to the member's post it doesn't say they were using a mobile phone.

That really irks me.

Hello..

I am evaluating Proboards for my software company. We will have about two dozen categories/boards and potentially 100s of members who will be posting questions and answers to the community.

We need to be able to review and approve/disapprove postings for everyone, as a default.

is this possible with Post Quaratine?

Thanks in advance,

Alec Sonenthal
