Can I enable moderation for guest only?

susannebrands Jul 17, 2017 8:24 AM

Is it possible to say that 'If guest try to create content, it needs to be moderated before published', but when a member does it they don't need moderation?

Hi Susanne Brands,

Usually everyone has to register as a member in an external Jive community in order to create content. One they are registered, however, you can put new members into a moderation queue as they create content until they reach a certain point threshold in the "Spam Link Prevention" section of the admin. If you have certain permission groups that can bypass moderation regardless of points, you can add those in the same section. Libby Taylor has provided some great info on this topic here: Open Registration and Spam Prevention in JiveWorks.

Thanks,
Jill

  But I'm not able to let a guest create for example only Discussions?
  
  I saw that you can edit the permission level from 'Everyone', so that I could create a custom permission level.

    You should be able to, yes. You can change the "Everyone" permission group to the "Discuss" level, for example, then set up moderation for everyone except "All Registered Users". The guest users still have to enter a name and email address, but they don't have to register as a member. I don't recommend this practice, however, because it opens the door for a lot of spammers. We require registration for any type of engagement in our community, and even so, we have still had to deal with our fair share of spam issues. The spam prevention tools in the admin have helped us resolve this with the point threshold for anyone who isn't a recognized customer/partner/employee.

      Thank you! This would be already a first step, but then when they don't add a link they still can post anything. And I would like any guest post to be moderated, but I will have to create an idea for that in the community.

        I would agree with Jill on this topic. We always recommend that the only users who can post/comment are those that are registered within the community already.

We customised Jive a few years ago to do what you're asking. It'll put all Guest posts into moderation for a particular Space (configurable via an extended property). The customisation was made in DefaultModerationStrategy.java and only added a few lines of code. Surprised this isn't in the core product by now.
