Bypass Post Moderation how-to

We need an example in the Codex about setting up moderation permissions. I think right now it is a little confusing. Especially the “Can Bypass all post moderation” Which would mean to me if on then that would include bypassing the first post moderation because it says “all”

So taking from the Wiki and tweaking to 5.0 verbiage….

===================================

Moderation Permissions

 Post moderation is where a post does not show on your forum until it has been approved. Simple:Press uses a couple of permissions actions to control post moderation.

The two permission actions are: Can bypass all post moderation and Can bypass first post moderation

Using these two permission actions, you can achieve the following Post Moderation control:

No Post Moderation

All posts from anyone using this permission who can post will immediately show up in the forum without moderation.

In the appropriate permission, set:
Can bypass all post moderation: True
Can bypass first post moderation: True

All Posts Moderated

All posts from anyone using this permissions who can post will require moderation and will not show up in the forum until approved.

In the appropriate permission, set:
Can bypass all post moderation: False
Can bypass first post moderation: False

First Post Moderated

This will require the first post from anyone using this permission to be moderated before it will show up in the forum. Subsequent posts from this User will not require moderation.

In the appropriate permission, set:
Can bypass all post moderation: True
Can bypass first post moderation: False

================================

Look right to you?

I believe so…

You do know there is a page in the FAQ on this though yes?

I knew there was something in the Codex but a search for bypass or moderation came up empty. I started looking for it and gave up but remembered there was something in the old Wiki.

I will change the FAQ to match the exact words on the current permissions pages then take a look and see if there might be a good place to add it under Getting Started or Management.
