Reading context for: enable_category_group_moderation

The enable_category_group_moderation site setting in Discourse allows specified groups to moderate content in designated categories.

When enabled, this setting provides the following capabilities:

  1. In the category settings, a “reviewable by group” can be specified. This grants members of that group moderation privileges for topics and posts in the category.

  2. Users belonging to the category’s reviewable group will be able to see flagged posts and topics queued for review in that category. Normally only staff can access the review queue.

  3. When a moderator feature like claiming a topic is used, the “unclaim” event is sent not just to staff but also members of the category’s review group.

  4. Notifications for certain moderation actions like flagging a post as spam/inappropriate will be sent to the category’s reviewable group in addition to the regular moderators group.

So in summary, this setting allows delegating moderation responsibilities to groups on a per-category basis, rather than only staff being able to moderate everything. It’s useful for having dedicated moderators for certain sensitive or specialized topic areas.

The key points are:

  • Allows appointing groups as moderators for specific categories
  • Group members can access flagged posts and the review queue for their categories
  • Relevant moderator notifications and events will include the category review group
  • Provides more granular moderation permissions vs only global staff moderators
