I have a spam problem on my site, so our moderation filter is fairly aggressive. Naturally, that creates a lot of false positives, and members get pissed when they see a message about how their post has been flagged as possible spam. What if moderation worked like Global Ignore, so that the original poster sees their own post and isn't aware that it's in moderation / invisible to other members?

I don't know if this is technically possible. But if it is, I would contribute significantly to the development of this plugin.
 
Hey,

I need some more information regarding how your setup works at the moment. Do you have it so all new members are put in moderation until they have reached X posts, is it a manual process to vet someone before they're excluded from the moderation, or is it a script that scans every member's posts regardless of their status?
 
Aha, in that case it cannot be done :(

The only way a system similar to Global Ignore could work was if it was actually integrated with the Global Ignore system, which again only works if it only scans members that have not been vetted.

Once members have been vetted they cannot be un-vetted, and from what I can tell it's not possible to hide an individual post from everyone except the author and mods.
 
Dang. Not to venture too off-topic, but have you encountered anything that makes you think this might be possible in vB5?
 
If anyone feels like getting creative and stretching the boundaries of what vBulletin can do, I'd pay $3,000 for this plugin compatible with vB4.
 
We might be able to pull this off, but it would require file edits. As such it wouldn't be suitable as a public product, but as something just for your forum we could probably do it. PM me if you want to go ahead with it as a custom job :)
