Lisa~ Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Just my wish list... :) Although there are modifications available for some of these, it's a huge hassle when upgrading for a variety of reasons. [*]Allow/disallow image tags and use of emoticons per user group. (My old modification no longer works for this and I've been waiting for years for this to be included in the software.) [*]Bad word filters per forum (haven't found a modification yet) [*]Delete Member PMs per user (haven't found a modification, but I need something with over 14000 members, some of which disappear for months and have full boxes with silly messages dating back to 2003!) [*]Anonymous Log-in Permissions like the SE23-Anonymous Login Permissions v1.0 Sean Ellis [*]Skins Group Permissions like the D22-Skin Group Permissions v1.2 Dean Logan [*]Signature Limitations like the (iNV23)-Signature Limitation v1.0.6 Pete Treanor [*]Sig And Avatar Per Group like the Sig And Avatar Per Group v1.0.0 -Calypso- [*]Group Title Persmissions like the Group Title Permissions v2.0.0 -Calypso- [*]Report Post Permissions like the (FSY22) Report Post Permissions v1.0 Michael [*]Report as Topics like the (OV22) Reports as Topics v1.1 Chelsove

Jυra Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I can't say I'd use any of those features, but that's just me.
Lisa~ Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Like I said, this is my wish list. These things would help me run my site the way I need to, and I wouldn't have to mess with the original software, possibly causing problems with efficiency. Then someone should make a mod for it. :) I haven't found one though. But, I'd persoanlly prefer something like this included since I have different user groups, some are paying and some are not. Paying groups are allowed to post images, non paying are not. I have a couple of reasons for this. My paying members have access to a No Holds Barred forum for very heated political debate, which given the name of the forum, should be allowed profanity. The rest of the board which can be seen by any of the thousands of people that visit my board (including minors) is not allowed to conatain these words or have the fighting that goes on in that one forum, so I have no choice but to set the profanity filter to not allow those words anywhere. My site is not blocked from businesses, schools or libraries and I'd like to keep it that way. The site is many years old, and some members that were once paying members and allowed personal messages are no longer paying members (I have a recurring subscription plan for most), so they shouldn't have a full inbox. They aren't allowed to read them because they can't use the PM any longer. They also have a feature to download their PMs, and I advise them to use it. I suppose it's all about how one runs their board and what their board rules say. I'm running a business, political in nature. I'm not asking to read the PMs, I could care less what they say. I just want to remove the dead weight from the site in an easy manner. We have a feature to remove all posts and topics for individual users, so why not one to remove their PMs as well? The ones that pay to keep the site going are allowed many things the non paying are not. Like I've stated, it's a business. Like above, only paying members can do this on my board. I suppose it's set up sort of like this site. Paying members receive perks and time from myself or my moderators, the ones that don't pay really shouldn't have much to complain about. What built in report center? We have one? I prefer the reports to be posted as threads in our Violations forum. First, because a hacker once used the feature to send some sort of code in an image and was then able to log in as me. He was caught within minutes, but that made me change how things were done on my board. This is why I disallow images for all groups besides paying, prefer only paying to be able to report posts (because my site receives a ton of trolls a day), and want them in a forum instead of sent through PM or email, so they can be dealt with immediately and there is no confusion with the moderators. When they are received through PM or email, ALL of them receive a copy and no one knows if another handled the situation. Like I said above, it all depends on how someone is running their site. Maybe we need another version of the software geared more towards business. It appears more and more business oriented sites are using this software, so who knows, maybe that will happen. If there is another version I'm not aware of, then excuse this entire thread and please point me to it and I'll see how affordable it is.I see little reason to add this other than preventing porn spammers from posting pics, honestly, this should be a mod.I can see uses for this, but I can't see enough people using this to warrant having it as a feature.Ever think they keep them because they WANT to keep them?

Lisa~ Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 After just dealing with complaints about the liberals I allow to post on my site, I thought of another thing that is really needed. :D An upgrade of sorts to the ignore feature. When users are placed on ignore by others, their comments can still be read if an unignored user quotes them, which happens every day on my board. So, you can't really ignore the people you want to. ETA: And maybe an admin/moderator abilty to be able to force users to ignore each other and to make it so they can't "peek" at the posts of the ignored.

I really like this idea, but it is very hard to implement - I even tried making a mod at one point, but it just had too many drawbacks: The only way one could really do it would be to add a tag if the reply or multi-quote button was used with the quoted person's ID in - which isn't hard but, someone could always copy and paste another persons post (which isn't feasible to be filtering out) - and what if someone quotes several posts in their reply, but you are only ignoring one? It would be difficult to not show half of a persons post...

Agreed! This is a HUGE problem for my forums too. From what I've read about 3.0, the PMs are moving in the direction of private threads. If this is the case, PMs could be more manageable. Hopefully admins would have the ability to delete ALL PMs (private threads) without any activity for x-number of days.

CynicalFrost Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 [quote name='Morrigan' post='1765933' date='Oct 20 2008, 06:18 PM']This defeats the purpose of saving PMs. Agreed. I can tell you I have 150 PMs on a specific board that are 2 years old. I still save them because... well, I have my reasons. :) I want to know that when I save a PM, I won't have an administrator deciding otherwise that it needs to go.
Der Kaiser Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I believe the idea would be more for the intention of deleting problematic spammers pm's etc. I dont see any reason to delete a pm or post just because its old, unless you have an absolutely massive userbase then it wouldnt do any harm to sit there, and even then, the amount it would do is minimal to say the least.
Ziv Grosu Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 And what would you say about "Delete Member PMs per group" feature? it can be awesome!
Lisa~ Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 Yeah, per group could be better. What's allowed on my board: - Copper Level allowed 25 storable messages - Bronze & Liberal Level allowed 75 storable messages - Silver Level allowed 150 storable messages - Gold Level allowed 250 storable messages - Platinum & Diamond Levels allowed 500 storable messages What is stored on my board:ibf_message_text = 19208 ibf_message_topics = 17366 These are the numbers from my board. More than half of these are stored in PM boxes of members that can no longer access them. At one time, everyone who registered on my board was able to use the PM. This is not the case now and has not been for quite some time. Only paying groups can use that feature. People who know their paid subscriptions are expiring and know they won't be subscribing again archive their messages if they want to save them. They also know that their avatars, personal photos and everything in their profiles will be deleted, and that they will no longer have a blog, album or be able to use the arcade or chat room, start threads or see certain forums. They are on the site's "welfare" program, so they are limited in many ways. There's no reason for me to be storing the PMs other than the software offers me no easy way of deleting them.
Lisa~ Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 Just found this... [quote name='bfarber' date='Oct 13 2008, 06:25 AM']Friends was fixed in one of the 2.3 versions. Comments are updated to member id 0 (just like posts) when a member is deleted. As for PM titles staying, but not PM content, THAT is a bug, but it will be addressed in 3. I'll tell you, this will get run through other people, but all in all the majority of administrators want content deleted when the member is deleted.As a side note to someone else who mentioned they would like a way to separately delete PMs when editing a member in the ACP - that was indeed added for 3.
