I run a couple Drupal websites that rely on user submissions to fill the site with content. As spammers discovered the site though, it became clear that I was going to have to moderate all incoming posts so that garbage didn’t get automatically posted.

I also like to control when content gets published so that it goes across all the RSS and Twitter feeds at just the right times, when the most people would be able to see it.

Drupal used to have a moderation function built into it’s core. But it was phased out and now we need to rely on a plugin to moderate content.

That plugin is called Modr8 and all it does it put all content that you specify into a submission queue. All from one window you can decide whether to delete something, publish it or leave it in the queue.

You can also send users reasons why their post was denied as well as a confirmation message that their posts were accepted.

It’ a very useful plugin. It does one thing and it does it well.
