First off, I love the features you have already added, and the dedication you guys are showing in growing the forum feature for Wix websites.
One area I feel is needed is an automatic moderation period when a user joins. What I mean by this is when a user signs up to the forum, any posts or comments they make have to be approved by an admin or moderator first. Once the admins/moderators are satisfied with the new users input, they can then turn off the users moderation thus allowing them to post freely without having to be approved.
This would allow us to keep our forums more secure and prevent people with ill intentions from being able to hijack the forum.
Features required to enable this:
- Automatic moderation period when a user joins (Can be deactivated to allow all users full access upon sign-up)
- "Moderator feed" for admins that lists pending posts which need to be approved
- Ability to activate user moderation for existing members if they are causing issues (As an alternative to banning them)
Great suggestion.
If I simplify this - you want to have posts approval system, and you don't want it for all users - we want to have it for users under certain amount of posts or to manually open it to more users, right?
