WWF v7.0 Beta 4 (A few issues)

The 1st issue that I have with this beta is that registered users are able to report their own post using the "Report Post" link. I think it is unnecessary to be able to report your own post; this feature may be used to gain the Administrators attention rather than use it for its intended purpose.

The 2nd issue that I have with this beta is that people are able to use the "E-mail Topic" to send mail anonymously using CDONTS mail component on your server or the server that hosts your forum.

When you are not logged in that option is not available but you can switch to the main forum and log off, switch back to the pop-up window and refresh. Your username will change to "Guest". In conclusion: Guests should not be allowed to use that feature (checking the username in the cookie and preventing guest access would work) and "Your Name*" field should be un-editable.

Note: This is not an "I need help" post but a suggestion post to Borg, I know how I can fix these issues on my own but would rather see them fixed for the final release of the forum.

-Thanks

Yes, I agree with the Vdub re spammers (item 2 of original post).

Re Item 1, sorry but disagree. Posters may require all traces of their original post to be removed for a variety of reasons, stupidity being just one of them. 

 

trevni well it happens. sometime they even wanna edit them the next day but they cant after 30 mins or so. thats what the tell me.

Eaglesexec and Vdub: Both of your excuses are illegitimate.

In WWF v7.0 there is no time limit on post editing. There is also an option that the admin can enable which will allow the user to delete his own post.

Like I said before and I'll say it again: There is no need for the poster to be able to report his/her own post!
