Moderating attachments from individual user


 

How easy and more broadly useful would it be to add an additional user-based moderation function that applies to attachments? That is, an individual user's postings would only be subject to moderation when they contain attachments, otherwise they would pass through as usual. We've had a few users whose accounts have been compromised and others who repost images (willfully or not), unnecessarily taking up server storage. In all cases, they have been committed contributors to the community, and this would simply be a tool to help moderators more gently deal with these types of situations. Of course, if this capability already exists and I've simply overlooked it, please steer me in the right direction.?

You can set attachments to be moderated.
In Admin, Settings, Message Formatting.
You can select allow, bounce, moderate or strip.

At present, any settings apply to all users equally.? There have been requests for individual user moderation settings (files, photos, etc.), but it's still under consideration.

Thanks for confirming that this capability does not currently exist. I tried to be clear that the question was regarding moderation of attachments for an individual, not for everyone. I'm aware that admins can moderate attachments and other items for the entire group. I hope this feature request will be given serious consideration.

Thanks again. .?

You can raise it again in Beta -?
No one in management here in this peer-to-peer help group.

In Beta, I see a thread on more granular permissions. Perhaps the right topic to check out? Any suggestions, folks?
