Forum like this possible?

[MelanieC]

Hi, I hope this is not too basic a question -- I need to have an answer in advance of upgrading to 3.0 where I can figure this out myself.

I would like to build a forum that allows a certain usergroup to read and reply as normal while regular posters would have to submit responses to the moderation queue.

In otherwords, once you set a forum to use moderated posts, can then you then exclude a certain group from said moderation.

Thanks,
Melanie

Yes, you can set this up fairly easily - Usergroup Post/Thread Permissions can be set on a Forum by Forum basis overriding the default permissions of that Usergroup. You would not set the Forum Permissions to moderate Threads and/or Posts in this case.

Yep!

This is very much possible with version 3 of vBulletin.

You can setup 2 usergroups, one with permission and one without.

Many thanks :-D
