Quote by PSHIFT: which file would call this info, had a look at public_html/submit.php but I don't think this is the right file.
The matter is somewhat more complicated than it looks at first ...
The 'linksubmission' table doesn't have the fields for the permissions. So when a moderator approves a link, the information for the link is copied over into the 'links' table and since the permissions are not included, they fall back to the default values defined for the 'links' table. Those, unfortunately, are owner = Anonymous, group = Root - which doesn't make a lot of sense ...
As a short-term solution, try changing the default group for the 'links' table to the id of your "All Users" group (usually 2, but better double-check first).
There's a
feature request to make all the default permissions configurable, but it hasn't been implemented yet and certainly needs to be thought through properly first ...
