How to Use the Moderation Manager - How to Use the Moderation Manager Moderation can be configured at community level and at the board level. There are 3 levels of moderation in community: Required: Content must go through moderation for review, and based on the moderator’s evaluation, the content is either published or removed from the community. Selective: The content is made public to the community without going through moderation. However, moderators can selectively review the content later, and based on the review, the content stays or is removed from the community. Auto-approved: The content is auto-approved and made public without going through moderation review unless flagged. Recommended for trusted areas that are self-regulated by a small group of members. Required Moderation When moderation is set to Required , all posts are sent to the Moderation Manager queue prior to publishing in the community. When a user posts content on a board, a confirmation message will be displayed on the post indicating that post will be published as soon as it is approved from moderators. Selective and Auto-Approved Moderation When moderation is set to Selective or Auto-Approved , no confirmation is displayed to the user, although Selective moderation messages will display in the Moderation Manager queue.
