Moderate new vendor (or first listing only)

Hi there. I have seen previous topics like this one: Manual vendor approval - #12 by ihor where people have requested the ability to moderate vendor signup. It was mentioned that the feature to moderate vendors (instead of listings) is coming… did that ever ship?

Our site was set up previously to not moderate listings and we’ve been having an issue with a scammer who’s been trying to keep coming back with new accounts after we ban him. One solution to this is that we turned on moderation so we have to approve every new listing manually. But that reduces our user engagement.

It would be really nice if we there was a way to moderate a listing only if it’s the very first listing someone is posting. OR, alternatively, moderate a “vendor” sign up (since it’s the first listing that triggers that) which would really accomplish the same thing.

Once a user has passed our first moderation (first list or vendor signup), we then trust them from here on out and would like them to be able to list listings freely.

Is there any sort of PHP Snippet that I can add that would make the moderation setting only work on the first listing?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no simple solution for this; it will require advanced customization. If customizations are required for your site, please try customizing it using the collection of code snippets Search · user:hivepress · GitHub and other developer resources, or consider hiring someone for custom work Customize your website | HivePress
