Is there any way to make new questions hidden by default?

Question

This would be useful in order to allow administrators to keep out abusive or profane posts, and in general to moderate. I can't see anything in the admin panel that allows this, though...

Answer 1

There is currently no setup for questions to be automatically hidden for moderation. I don't believe that question2answer is going to be adding that setting either. Question2Answer is a community moderated software similar to stackoverflow and superuser.

Answer 2

If there is sufficient demand, this might be implemented in a future version.

In the meantime you can achieve something similar by modifying function qa_question_create() in qa-app-post-create.php, as follows:

• Change 'Q' to 'Q_HIDDEN' in the call to qa_db_post_create(...)
• Comment out the call to qa_post_index(...)
• Comment out the section if(isset($followanswer['notify']) && ...

Once you've done this, new questions will be created as hidden, and you can access them via the 'Hidden' panel under 'Admin' , and show them if you approve.
