Cherrymenthol Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 OK, I am sure this has been brought up more than once. The moderator CP is used in most forum software, It is a useful bit of kit that is good for managing members, keeping track of warnings etc. I think that it should be re-introduced in a future version of IPB; in a similar format to the ACP, tabs etc, but just with moderator controls instead. A lot of the member mod controls in IPB are spread all over the place, so I personally think if moderators can do all this in one place, like admins do, it would make their lives a lot easier, and give them the ability to moderate more efficiently. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princetontiger Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hhmm... There are only topic controls that they can operate. This was how the mod cp was back in the day. I'm not really sure it should be reintroduced unless there were other features a mod could operate, such as member administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherrymenthol Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Admins can assign permissions to moderators... they can manage topics and things from there, and administrate members, It's only a suggestion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 vBulletin is actually in the process of removing their Mod CP because all of the options found in it can now be done via inline moderation, similar to IPB. I don't really think the MCP is all that useful anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyM Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Sorry, but to those of you who don't like this idea. I do. I also would like to add that there can be an announcements section. For admins to announce to the moderators some bit of information. (This could also turn out to become say a custom CP script. For Moderators, Admins, VIP Members, and Regular Members.) For now though I would like to give a "thumbs up" to this request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistra Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 a mod CP is pointless at this stage of development. vB is the only forum script out today that still has a mod cp and from what drygnfyre is stating. Thay are about to get rid of that feture. all inline modding is poslinle. Yes I would like to see something for the super mods wehre thay can ban members. but that would be my only request about having a mod CP. if you have enough admins you shoule have enough tot cover the entire board. there is a hack on invisionize that you can use.

Voltemort Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Actually, phpBB 3 Beta 1 has also a Moderator CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistra Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Oh so the paid scrips are taking it out and the free scripts are potting it in. Yeah thats really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellawella Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 IPB already has "Moderator Tools" for super mods in the user CP, that's a mod CP of a kind. It might be nice to have a feature like "View Pending Posts/Topics" a bit like View New Posts but for mods and unapproved posts/topics only, and also the ability for super mods to permanently ban. That's a really glaring missing feature, always has been. I agree for the most part though, inline moderation renders most mod CP features obsolete. Probably best just to put stuff that doesn't fit anywhere inline in the Moderator Tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I think that moderator tools shoiuld be removed from user cp, added into a mod cp along with a place to view unapproved topics, calendar events and REPORTED POSTS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think the MCP is all that useful anymore.I am wondering, where did you get that piece of info from? Seeing as it is not supported by the vBulletin staff and completely preposterous to remove that just because inline moderation was introduced.
