Moderate one user?

[steve427]

I would like to moderate one user. How can make it so only his posts are moderated?

[Zachery]

you'd have to put him in a usergroup whos posts were moderated.

Okay.. thanks for the help!

Could that be a secondary group, so that all other rights remain?

[Colin F]

No, because a YES in another usergroup he's in will override this, and his posts won't be moderated then.

That's what I initially thought, but I've tested it and it does work.

It's due to the syntax of the permissions. The specific setting is "Moderate all posts", so by setting this to "yes" the secondary group adds a permission albeit a negative one!

I wish I'd thought of it ages ago as I've had a few likely candidates over the years . . .
