As mentioned above, Forum moderation applies to both discussions added to the standard Forum feature and to public groups, while private group discussions are unaffected. Forum moderation only applies to new discussions, not replies and can be approved by Network Creators, Administrators, and Forum Moderators (but not Group moderators).<\/p>\n
It’s important to consider the trade-offs before enabling Forum moderation. For networks with extra strict privacy concerns, or those affected by spam, it’s a fantastic tool. However, it can also dissuade some members who might think waiting for approval is too much trouble or that it feels too much like pre-emptive censorship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
