    >”My suggestion will be to setup a role for signup which is different from existing users. If this role is not white listed, their content will be held in moderation if you enable that.”

    I like the sound of this! How would it work? Where would we set the roles — in BuddyPress forums or in BuddyDev Moderation Tools?

    Here is how I imagine it working: anyone who creates a new account is automatically assigned the role “Moderated” or “New Member” or something similar. All of their activity would be moderated until we change their role to another role, maybe just “Member”. (We will eventually have other roles for members.)

    I know that BuddyPress has its own toolset for managing user roles, as does WordPress, and this is why I am confused about the source of the role identities, and where I would be assigning the moderated or non-moderated state for these roles.

    Thank you for your help! The entire world of WordPress and Buddypress is new to me, and I have a lot to learn! I am grateful for tools like yours to help with this, and for developers like you who are so supportive of new customers!

    Cheers,
    Tim

    Hello Brajesh,

    Thank you for your reply and the welcome! I have many more BuddyDev tools on my shopping list for when our new site is up and running, but I have a few more questions about how Moderation Tools works.

    — Our current site has over 200,000 active users, all whitelisted. We would like them to be whitelisted when we activate them in the new site we are building, rather than having to whitelist them individually.

    — Any NEW users who create accounts should be automoderated for forum topics and replies, as well as article comments, until we whitelist their accounts.

    Is this feature set available now, or is it something you would have to develop?

    One way to deal with the mass import is to be able to set automoderation *by users* globally, so that on our first import, everybody is whitelisted by default, and after that, nobody is whitelisted by default. Does this make sense? I am happy to try to explain it better.

    Thank you again!
