I wondered, would it be worth shipping with a moderation rule in by default where people with less than 5 posts (who aren't moderators) are automatically post moderated?
I suspect it would encourage people to understand how the system works by having a working example in there by default?
For those coming from SMF: I totally gutted the post moderation system to be rules-based. For example:
* someone tries to make a new post
* moderate the post if:
1) they have less than 5 posts
2) they are not an Administrator, Global Moderator or Board Moderator
There are other permutations, for example you can push it to moderation if there's x number of links posted, or the user is in other groups or has a given warning level or the post contains certain words. It doesn't really matter exactly what, at this stage, just wondering if it should ship with a default rule set up.
