Hi there, 

I am wondering if there is a simple way to let moderators know that a post is waiting for moderation. 

The basic notification about a new post does not say anything about the moderation status. I think a post that is waiting for moderation has probably a higher priority for moderators than posts that do not need moderation. 

It would not make sense to send out two separate emails, so maybe there is just a way to add the “moderation status” into the notification emails for moderators?

Warm regards.

Sebastian

I was not aware that we did not include that data in the email so I will open a ticket to get it added.

Another good way – which I personally prefer 0- is to use our Admin Bar plugin which makes it very clear on viewing the forum what posts are new, what requires moderating, what may be spam (if any) – plus allows you to make quick replies as well in the one place without having to load topics.

Just read your reply, Andy. 
Thanks for this. It would be great if you could add the “moderation required hint” to the email being sent out to moderators. 

I will have a look at the admin bar plugin and let you know how it goes. 

 

Thank you!

It is coded and ready to go in a 5.7.5 update and also in out HTML Emails plugin. No ETA on that I am afraid and almost certainly another month away. It was an obvious thing to add and we should really have thought of that a long time ago.
