Moderate^Post Is Now Moderate Then Post

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 have to disagree with the need to keep stories about Soylent News at the top of Soylent News.

    Frankly, like the old site, I come here for the tech news and discussion. I know the people behind the site are really interested in Slashcode issues and creating over-engineered electronic voting systems just to choose a domain name, but I don't believe those things should be mainstays of the Soylent News frontpage.

    They wouldn't have to be part of the main page per-se, but there's nothing wrong with a slashbox devoted to Soylent Goings-Ons or whatever.
