Automatically set submissions as Published?

[typeamom]

OK, I know this must be totally simple and I'm missing something really obvious... but I have scoured and I can't figure out how to set it so all news submitted by a registered user is published. I really don't want to constantly have to go in and move news from queued to published constantly.

Go to admin >> configure "your sitename" and then "voting" . Change the "votes to Publish" to "1" - (default is 5) it will get automatically get published on submission - but beware of spam - you can also set it to 2 or any other number.

Cheers.

Thanks! That was making me nuts... I think I will use 2, at least for promoting to front page. I want it low now just because site is brand new. I'm sure once it gets more traffic, I'll need better controls.

Just a heads up for people not using the upcoming status

I'm using this method and Askimet doesn't seem to work with this. The Askimet section in admin asks me if I want to approve a suspicious story that's has been already published. Then if a approve it the story goes back to "queued" status.
