Bypass Post Moderation Settings

This is really a follow-up to a previous thread ( https://simple-press.com/suppo.....post-only/ ), but since that's the previous version, I figured I'd put it here.

 

The issue is that the way those 2 settings related to post moderation are worded is extremely confusing:

"Can bypass post moderation once": if the word "once" is taken to mean "one time", then this sounds like the very first post is NOT moderated, but all subsequent posts are.  Which is quite different from what I'm able to see that this setting actually does - which, as far as I can tell (there being no really a clear description on the Wiki that I could find), is to remove the need for moderation on the first post by a user.  If that's correct, then I would suggest this setting to be renamed "Can bypass first post moderation" or "Can bypass moderation on first post" to make it clearer as to what it does.

"Can bypass post moderation": the wording makes it sound like all post moderation is bypassed (which would mean it supercedes the other setting), but if this is the only option selected, the very first post still requires moderation.  Does that mean what this setting does is to bypass post moderation for all posts after the first?  If so, then I would follow up the previous suggestion with naming this one as "Can bypass subsequent post moderations" (or "Can bypass moderation on subsequent posts") and place it behind the other setting instead of before.

 

Thanks.
