[suggestion] PM topic starter about move automatically option

[W13]

I run a high-traffic forum where tons of people post in the wrong forum, and a move is necessary. Also, we can't leave a link in the initial forum because it diverts traffic to the wrong topic (and people abuse it by posting in a high-traffic sub-forum in hopes of getting more visitors to their topic, etc).

SO, I propose that moderators be allowed to automatically send a PM to topic starters of the topic they're moving.

See picture:

+1 it should have an option when you close, delete, merge threads as well with the url to the topic.

Which mod did you use for that?

[Keven Fox]

Never thought of that, but I like it as an option :)

And on topic approve, open, move posts to another topic.

I used Microsoft Paint to photoshop it! :lol:

If you go to multi-topic moderation, you can make it so that a reply is automatically made to the thread. But I guess that wont do what you wanted, would it.

I love this fantastic idea. I love the bodge job graphic representation too. ;)

And my idea about moderator pms, so that the moderator would beable to make it so that this PM would not count toward the members quota.

[Tarun]

As long as it's optional, sounds good. I don't always want a PM sent on actions made.

[Guest]

Definite +1 to this.

W13, I love your awesome Photoshopping skills. :D

Now if only IPB had a bump feature, I wouldn't be making this post :-)

What do IPB developers have to say about this? :-)

I think that an option shouldn't be necessary and pm's should always be sent if the person is a member. :)

I think they are owned by the same person :)

They are, msx is known for single player hacks.

Yeah, I think so, that forum uses cSEO (with copyright removal).

[W13]

He owns it, atleast i believe... Its a great site. And believe me, he is right about the "high traffic"

No I don't own it. :huh:

But if you do, then that was a sneeky plug! <_<

[Shef]

Have to bump this. Are you going to develop this? I love it.

I created something similar a while ago, I left out the option to notify as mentioned in the first screenshot. As I thought this would be counter productive and require a lot more edits, when this modification is already heavily edited enough. (Which is unavoidable).

It only supports a few options right now, mainly the most used moderation actions.

open_topic=Open Topic

close_topic=Close Topic

delete_topic=Delete Topic

delete_post=Delete Post

move_topic=Move Topic

approve_topic=Approve Topic

unapprove_topic=Unapprove Topic

approve_post=Approve Post

unapprove_post=Unapprove Post

Is there still time to sneak this one in IPB 3? :-O
