In the future, please make sure your posts are at least three words; this does not in include emoticons. Otherwise, they might be seen as spam.Wnao wrote:Request sent!
Unfortunately, this isn't how phpBB works. Approval is a hard "is" or" is not" condition controlled by forum roles/a set of permissions applied to each individual forum. There's no "if" exception in a vanilla install without an extension that can catch admin- and mod-defined conditions. For your idea to work, we'd need something capable of doing an "if" [img] or [media] tag, send to moderation queue check. Without extensions, our options are fairly limited. Enabling both approval and image/media tags would queue all posts for designated usergroups, including those without image or media tagged content.GoldenBeauty wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 7:51 amWhy not just review all posts with a submitted image? The process right now seems unnecessarily intricate.
Idea:
E.g if I post an image my post does not show up until a moderator approves it. Simple. If it doesn’t get approved then the user gets a warning.
As above, it is necessary for specific tasks. phpBB isn't a super-advanced board software like Invision Community/IPboard, vBulletin or similar solutions. Group dependencies are a way to skirt around some limitations we're presented with, such as image tags, though it's far from a perfect solution.GoldenBeauty wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 7:51 amThat way there’s no need to create ‘group/club’ memberships
We only look into post history and join dates. Beyond those, nothing else is evaluated and won't affect your request to join. It is purely to check whether or not an account is in good standing. Just to clear that up. ^^;GoldenBeauty wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 7:51 amthat require your email address, user activity and account age..
This group pre-dates the supporting Media Embed Plug-in extension by about four years. Auto-parsing of media embeds is now disabled. Going forward, [media] tags made starting as of this post will now rely on being a member of the renamed Images & Media Tags group.GoldenBeauty wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 7:51 amAlso it’s really easy for a user to just link to their image. It defeats the entire purpose of this system?
Could you simplify it for me? I'm not sure I completely understand, not being an expert at the terminology & all. If a user links an image then isn't that the same thing as not gaining approval to join an image tag user group?This group pre-dates the supporting ABBC3 extension by about four years.

Tweaked my previous post a bit because I mistook one extension for another -- the auto-parsed embeds are part of the Media Embed plug-in. ABBC3 (Advanced BBCode Box 3) is the extension responsible for the improved/modernized message posting interface versus the old/vanilla message posting experience and handling group-restricted BBCodes. Media tags are BBCode, but they're actually handled through their own separate extension. Apologies.GoldenBeauty wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 4:45 pmCould you simplify it for me?

It was indeed an overlooked bypass that I've been keeping an eye on. While it hasn't exactly been abused, it's better to address it to help protect against misuse.GoldenBeauty wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 4:45 pmIf a user links an image then isn't that the same thing as not gaining approval to join an image tag user group?
