Hello everybody!

Just posting to keep everyone updated on any changes to the community, or any news on the front.

1. The community has now turned on moderated posting. It was something I had considered from the outset, and has been recommended by fellow moderators and members alike. Since a community like this shouldn't be making new posts all the

I should have expected sub-standard implementation.

Here's all you need to do:



While working as the community (drop down not in shot), set the settings as I noted in the shot.

OpenID works fine, with no need for screening/unscreening. Anon comments are made, but screened. OpenID comments are not screened unless you set it to "members only".

Typical half-ass integration, I should have suspected before I said "go get more mods". It's been working this way from the beginning, I'm just so used to the f-d up UI ... then again, I've been on LJ for a long time so I'm used to their UI crimes and hardly notice the abuse.

Unfortunately, you overestimate the system ;/ It appears "Screen comments from: Anonymous" also screens OpenID.

There is, under LJ's current code, no way to affect OpenID without also affect Anonymous comments and vice versa. It's a pain, but that's what we have to work with so far.

Works on my comms without screening issues. Oh well. G'luck.

BTW, you just changed this setting; I just got this error when posting and had to join:

* orry, you are not a member of ljspeaks, and commenting is restricted to members only.

From:
( ) Anonymous- this community only allows commenting by members. You may comment here if you are a member of ljspeaks.

Augh, too much tinkering, too easy to drop a setting ;/ Fixed now.

(I tested it, and it listed both OpenID and anonymous as screened with the settings you listed.)
