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.

Well, my self-correcting self-reply almost certainly was really in the first two minutes of my previous post, so I don't think I triggered a bug. It's also not a pressing issue (I can live with the current delay, although I don't like it), but one which would be very welcome in case it eventually gets changed. It would just be nice if it were somewhere on the list of things to do when there happens to be time left. Whenever that may be.
Anyway, in case I come over too critical, let me stress that I really think you're doing a great job. My comments are just saying how I think the site would become even better.

I'll poke in the DB for the magic variable that controls this. The rate limiting was accidently broken by varnish (formkeys weren't being saved, which caused other issues), so when we fixed that bug, this functionality returned.

Still always moving
