i think my next enhancement will be to "move" them to a hidden category so they "think" it deleted them so i can CATCH the person who think's they are oh so sneaky!

I swear, i had a huge client and they DELETED their thread!!! that client emailed me like "What happened" talk about embarrassing.

if anyone wants the mod i made let me know.


ohiopbx will love installing the mod in my forum. Do share it with us.

And a little if i may suggest, do what ever changes needed in Subs or functions in an include file and in the WWF files, just call them.

This way, it is easier for rest of us who don't know much scripting to install other mods.

I'm lucky, our forums I'm the admin and there is myself and 5 others who are moderators. We agree so much on things, and if there's a matter of deletion, it's often discussed in the hidden mod section unless it's a rules violation, then any mod can delete or modify anything at any time if a rule has been violated. We're a tight group and agreed very clearly on rules before the forum even went up.

ohiopbx got point. I think WWF should add a field to db which will store user ID of the person who requested for the deletion. Default value 0 will indicate no one is requesting deletion. And if the value is grater than zero, admin can delete it completely.

Not that exactly above process has to be done. But it will be better having some similiar feature.

If using SQL Server you can take incremental backups which may help in a pinch if you need to restore a topic and associated postings from a test database.]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 22:54:44 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/how-to-stop-moderators-from-deleting-topics_topic24456_post127825.html#127825 <![CDATA[How to stop moderators from deleting topics? : Scotty32 wrote:you COULD...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/how-to-stop-moderators-from-deleting-topics_topic24456_post127824.html#127824 Author: ohiopbx

i understand why you would want webwiz to be enhanced but, if your worried your moderators will delete posts they shouldnt, maybe they shouldnt be a moderator
