Some groups can be excluded from the rule on the permissions page. When a post is approved, it counts +1 towards the number of first posts to approve. When a discussion is approved, it counts +1 towards the number of first discussions to approve, and also +1 towards the number of first posts. If you don't set a number of discussions to approve, new discussions will be held for approval based on the number of posts of the user. For example if you require 2 posts to be approved but 0 discussions, if one of the first two interactions of the user is to create a discussion, that discussion will be held for approval. But if they first create two replies that get approved, they can then create their first discussion without approval. Existing users -------------- [](#existing-users) If you install this extension on a forum with an existing user base, you might want to manually update the `first_post_approval_count` and `first_discussion_approval_count` columns on the `users` table to prevent existing users from being subjected to the first post approval. Any number equal or higher than the number configured in the extension settings will cause the approval to be skipped. Alternatively, you can exclude some groups on the permissions page. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Flarum's **Approval** and **Flags** extensions must be enabled. ``` composer require peopleinside/flarum-ext-first-post-approval ``` Updating -------- [](#updating) To update the extension to the latest version, run: ``` composer update peopleinside/flarum-ext-first-post-approval php flarum cache:clear ``` Uninstalling ------------ [](#uninstalling) To completely remove the extension from your Flarum installation: ``` composer remove peopleinside/flarum-ext-first-post-approval php flarum cache:clear ``` Recommendations --------------- [](#recommendations) To build a complete moderation toolkit for your forum, this extension works best when combined with: ### [AntiFlood by PeopleInside](https://github.com/PeopleInside/flarum-ext-antiflood) [](#antiflood-by-peopleinside) While **First Post Approval** reviews the very first posts of new users, **AntiFlood** prevents rapid-fire posting from *all* users, protecting your forum from spam bursts and accidental flooding. Together, they cover both new accounts and established members. Install it via Composer: ``` composer require peopleinside/flarum-ext-antiflood ``` Support ------- [](#support) This extension is under **minimal maintenance**. It was developed for a client and released as open-source for the benefit of the community. I might publish simple bugfixes or compatibility updates for free. This is a fork of that introduce support for Flarum 2.0 while try also to have a good code security and some improvements. - Support: - Security reports: ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 89% of packages Maintenance93 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity48 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 81% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
