We have a motorcycle forum and in it we have a NON-Moderated section and a Moderated section....as most forum sites are starting to do. My members have requested a feature to turn on and off the banned words filter per forum Parent section.

Example

Main forum
|
|-Forum moderated (want to use ban word filters on these)
| |-child1 (want filters)
| |-child2 (want filters)
|
|-Forum unmoderated (don't want ban filters here)
|-child1 (or here)
|-child2 (or here)

Could can this be done in the next intrim release?

good idea

Mmmmmm, I understand your idea..

However, lets say you got a child section, and you want to limit the 'F' word. Alright, I can understand that, however, if that same child clicks a little bit more it will come @ the unmoderated section and still see the 'F' word. So maybe this is just 1 small step and not really helpful without more steps..

Maybe Word Filters by membergroup would be more suitable and handy

You sort of have the idea...but you missed how permissions work with groups....

I can understand placing childrens groups on a forum and using that feature, but this is an all adult forum dealing with motorcycles.

Moderation makes more sense when you have a moderated and unmoderated section with filters applying to both. Thats the idea. But your suggestion is good too for a all ages board...

maybe a combination of both :)

ex where you can set.. Which ban filter to apply -> Word Filter / group filter / both filters ( to subforums ) or something like that

That would be way cool...now if they can just DO IT... :)

I would be a way happy camper
