Here is our version information:
$scoop_env{Version} = 'scoop-1_0-dev';
$scoop_env{Date} = '$Date: 2002/09/08 23:50:47 $';
$scoop_env{Revision} = '$Revision: 1.510 $';
Here are our present settings of relevant VARs:
auto_post_use_time = 0
use_auto_post = 0
auto_post_floor = 0
auto_post_front_page = 4
auto_post_max_minutes = 10080 (1 week)
auto_post_min_ratings = 0
auto_post_section = 3.25
hide_story_threshold = -10
post_story_threshold = 20
First: Autopost weirdness
--------------------------
Now, even with use_auto_post=0, stories which exceed post_story_threshold do get auto-posted (auto meaning without editor intervention), and stories which fall below hide_story_threshold get hidden. This is not intuitive. I think a better explaination of use_auto_post is in order. What exactly does it do?
Now, I want to enable the K5 time-limit in queue behaviour. When I first tried this (with many old stories in the queue, most were probably older than auto_post_max_minutes), and with the following settings:
use_auto_post=1
auto_post_use_time=1
auto_post_max_minutes = default (36 hours)
I observed that any vote, +1 or -1, would cause a story to be hidden (displaystatus=-2)!
Can anyone explain this?
I want to now enable the time-limit-in-submission-queue, but I want to be sure I get this right. Also, can anyone (Rusty?) share with us the values which K5 uses for all of the above VARs?
Second: Edit queue not working
-------------------------------
What are the VARs needed to enable the Edit queue? It's not working, and I can't find a VAR which is "enable edit queue". Just these:
queue_edit_max_time=2h
max_edit_stories=1
Are there group perms that need to be changed? I am in a group with all perms enabled, but I don't see the "allow story to go to edit queue" checkbox when I submit a story.

Third: Can't post editorial comments
-------------------------------------
There appears to be a bug regarding editorial vs. topical comments in the queue. On K5, you must select one or the other, and are prompted to do so if you forget. On Smokedot, no matter what you select, or if you don't select anything, the comment is posted as topical.
Fourth: Anti-spam flags and edit catagories??
---------------------------------------------
Can we have a better explaination of the effects of the following VARs:
use_edit_categories=0
use_anti_spam=1
spam_votes_percentage=0.25
spam_votes_threshold=100
I think these may be Adequacy features, but would like an explaination for those of us who never went there. (I see no effect under my present setings).
Thanks,
Bill Huston
