When an account is trying to make a post using the "other" category, the user's post will be sent to a post inbox only accessible by admins.
The post will then have a list of restrictions put upon it until approved by admins (done to ensure that the item being offered/requested is appropriate). The restrictions acted on the "other" category post will include the following:
Post is hidden from the public posts page
Post will be inaccessible
The public/other users will not be able to interact with the pre-approved "other" post (excluding admins)
Post will not show up on the map located on the "home" page
The user will also be notified that their post is awaiting approval through e-mail (to ensure that there is no confusion as to where their post went). The e-mail will include the following:
Description of where their post has gone/why it is not public
Explanation of why this precaution was taken for posts made with the "other" category
If/when the post gets approved by the admins the following will occur:
The previously mentioned restrictions will be removed
The user that made the post will be notified by e-mail that their post has been approved and has been made open to the public
If the "other" category post is disapproved, the following will occur:
The post will be flagged and removed (thus permanently inaccessible/hidden from the public)
The user that made the original "other" category post will be contacted through e-mail and told that their post has been disapproved and removed by the admins
A short explanation as to why the user's post was disapproved will be attached to the e-mail
