Configuring MT-Approval: Challenge

One of the most popular features of the Comment Challenge plugin was the simple text-based question that asked users to enter a word prior to submitting their comment. Unfortunately, since the Comment Challenge plugin has not yet been updated for MT4, the feature doesn't quite work as yet. So I added it to MT-Approval.

You will need to specify the Challenge - which should be something that tells people what they need to enter - and a Response - which should be the value that they are going to have to actually enter on the screen. The Response value is not case-sensitive, so you don't need to worry about that. But you may want to keep it short.

Once you have entered your Challenge and Response, you have to choose what to do if the response is incorrect or if there is no response.

If you set the action to Off, the test is not applied.

Should you choose the Moderate value, then the comment is sent to the moderation queue rather than being published if there is a problem with the response.

You can also Discard the comment entirely or Junk the comment. If you Junk the comment, you can choose the weight of the junk score applied to the comment.
