Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Never Moderate Registered Users

This plugin assumes that any comment made by a registered user (or a user with a specified capabilities) is not spam, regardless of the spamminess of their comment. If you don't trust your registered users you probably shouldn't have this plugin activated. Or at least follow the directions above to increase the minimum threshold for trusted users.

Yes. The plugin itself adjusts the minimum trust level if open registration is enabled. And regardless of that, there is an admin setting to easily facilitate stricter trust, and an offered filter for more programmatic customization. When open registration is enabled, users must exceed the site's default registration role before bypassing moderation (for example, only contributors or higher are trusted when the default role is subscriber). To limit the feature to users who can publish posts or moderate comments, enable "Trust only privileged users to bypass comment moderation and spam checks" on the Settings -> Discussion admin page. The 'c2c_never_moderate_registered_users_caps' filter allows programmatic customization of the specific capabilities or roles to trust. See the developer documentation for examples.

Yes. The tests are not packaged in the release .zip file or included in plugins.svn.wordpress.org, but can be found in the plugin's GitHub repository.
