Moderate^Post Is Now Moderate Then Post

from the if-we-accidently-implemented-something-we-promised-is-it-still-a-bug? dept.
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.

    I, Ben Goren (aka TrumpetPower!) have mod points at the moment. I'm posting this anonymously. I'm then going to try moderating it up, and replying to it.

    Not that I don't trust NCommander, even if I *am* looking to verify....

    Well, I wasn't able to moderate that anonymous comment, which is probably a good thing. I was able to moderate NCommander's post up above, and it looks like I'm going to be able to post....

      Yup, and now I can't moderate at all in this thread. Seems to work as advertised. Thanks for the improvement!

      P.S. The "Slow Down Cowboy!" message is annoying.... b&
