Hello,
I used to have a forum hosted on a freebie hosting service that was for reviews and discussions of the Society's older literature until it got spammed by very undesirable messages and eventually "hacked" as my grandson put it. I had to have it removed and we lost a lot of messages in doing that but there was no choice because the person/s who hacked the site changed the administration details and we couldn't do anything about it except ask the host to remove it because they wouldn't do a back up of a free hosted site.
Anyway, I really like the way this forum looks and works and I've been wanting to bring back our old book review forum but I have a question about messages being moderated. So, does this software have the ability to have messages placed in queue so that an administrator or moderator can approve it or delete it before it becomes publicly visible? This would be important for me because of the spammers and some individuals who desire to post undesirable messages in their anger and zeal for their beliefs without tolerance.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
With Christian love,
Stephen
