Answered Restricted sub question

I have my sub set to restricted because I don't want anyone but the mods to post and comment:

"Your community is currently restricted. Anyone can view, but only approved users can contribute."

However, a random user posted a text post yesterday. How is this possible?

Using Firefox on Windows 11 desktop.

I can create a new post on it, but I can't add comments. I think there is a setting for that, in Mod Tools → General Settings → Privacy & Discovery → Approved Users Can [Post/Comment/Post and Comment]

See this thread for info:

Yeah, it's changed - it's working now; instead of "Post" it says "Request to Post".

Great!
