Aurora: Media moderation

If you want to moderate content with media, (images, videos, and attachment files), you can configure it via Default Media status setting.

You can find this setting under Settings > Moderation > General > Default Media Status.

The screenshot below shows this setting at the community level.

 

Media moderation can be configured at both the category and board levels, with board-level settings taking precedence over the parent category.

When you try to publish a post that contains media, the moderation settings for both content and media are checked. The post’s visibility depends on the moderation rules applied. 

For example, in the forum (called Pet Lovers) settings shown below, moderation for text content is set to Auto-approve and media status is set to Required. Any post with media is published only after moderators approve the media content.

 

 

When members add specific bypass permissions along with non-admins try to publish a discussion in the forum, they receive a notification that the post requires approval and is not visible in the community.

 

Moderators can approve or reject the post from the Moderation tab in the Manage Content dashboard.

Note: Media moderation is available for:

• Discussions and their replies
• Blog comments
• Knowledge base comments
• Ideas and Idea comments
• Event comments

To facilitate faster search results while moderating content, a filter for media is available on the Moderation tab in the Mange Content dashboard.
