I want to like it

I want to like this, but

1) approving is too much of a hassle, you have to click on the post to go to post edit screen, then publish. There should be a bulk, or a quick publish when you hover over title.

Also, I don’t want this to moderate people who have commented in the past.

In the options, there is this:

Do not moderate (check or uncheck box) A topic or reply by a previously approved author

I have tried both checked and unchecked, and it still holds in moderation replies by previously approved authors…. So I have gone on to disactivate this plugin. Especially because I will be in vacation and need the forum replies to flow without this issue.

However, I want to like it and make it work well for anonymous posts.
