I'm pleased to announce that moderate then post has now been implemented. In truth, its been implemented since the last major update due to a bug. Before releasing slashcode 14.04, I was experimenting with moderate^post code on dev, and the code was merged in with the basis that it would be enabled as part of the moderation reworks. Theoretically, this code should have been disabled. In actuality, I skewed a variable; the global that controls this functionality was not 100% properly implemented.
mrcoolbp noticed the bug today, and seeing as we needed a code change either way to properly fix it, I decided to roll this bit of the moderation rework out early. I'm not thrilled on squishing two bugs in production on the same day, and I'm going to be working with the dev team to get a rigorous QA plan put together (which will be posted here) before we do any more major updates to the site.
Until then, enjoy the new functionality.
NCommander adds: I'm giving this a one time bump on the main index as it was posted very late for US based users. We *really really* need a featured story feature.

Or downvote people who disagree with you.
The idea is pretty sound and I think it makes modding more attractive for people who would prefer to participate in a discussion. I rarely mod on the other site (TOS) because of this.

Right now, moderate then post helps with this as there's no penalty for jumping into a conversation after you've moderated. Its not as broad as I would have like (I would have prefered moderate and post, excluding moderation on a thread), but this was the low hanging fruit solution.
Still always moving
