If you’re the admin of a Public Squad, this is the feature you’ve been waiting for.
From now on, you can let Squad members contribute posts to the Squad without being overrun by spam and self-promotion.
<h2>How it Works</h2>
<ol>
<li>Go to Squad Settings.</li>
<li>Change the settings so that all Squad members can post, but require post approval.</li>
</ol>

You’ll receive notifications for posts waiting for approval. Just click the bell icon in the top-right corner to view requests.

<h3>Approve or Decline Posts</h3>
You can now approve or decline posts. For example, this post is clearly not relevant for the Watercooler Squad:

When rejecting a post, you can also share feedback and a personal note with the person who submitted it.

The post author will be notified of the post status and, if rejected, the reason why.

Post approval for Squads

Excellent! Thank you for this update. So far the spam hasn’t been a huge problem, but this was definitely one of my concerns for growing the squad.

A nice and much appreciated addition

nice feature. I saw some squads closed the post submission because the admin overwhelmed by spams.
I hope this feature make them re-open the post submission without risking the squad flooded by spams

Another awesome feature. Solid work team!
