Hasbro Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hi, simple idea to have some "different" bbcodes such as [closed]post[/closed] which would close the topic (if the account your on has sufficient privileges defined by the administrator of course. Where this idea came: I was writing a reply to an idiotic post and realized, "Hey, I always type -Locked, or /closed it would be more convenient if I didn't have to move my hand off my laptop to the external mouse or touchpad." Anyways, this could be extended to things like [move forum=forumid]post[/move] which would move that thread to a different forum as well as post a reply with what ever custom message you'd like. How it would work: When posted it would be parsed then stripped after the operation completed(obviously to prevent it from re-occurring every time :P) I don't see how this would have any negative side effects, there would have to be checks on these bbcodes, but as far as I can tell checking permissions of a session(user?) when they use specific bbcode should not effect performance :) Perhaps I'm wrong and this is an outlandish idea, prove me wrong :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 2, 2009 Management Share Posted October 2, 2009 BBcode is actually just a fancy text replacement so you couldn't perform moderation actions by adding BBcode without a lot of dynamic code. Ironcially, anyone who remembers early Ikonboard may remember #moderation tags.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasbro Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I did not use Ikonboard, however a feature like that sounds very convenient :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct2·com Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Multi-moderation can just about achieve all you want, based on your description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of what I described is so that you do not have to click using your mouse and can just type a keyword like Matt mentioned which moderates the topic.

Mat Barrie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 You could do this though, using the "custom PHP file to execute" function of the BBCode manager. I doubt you'll ever see it in the base product though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Mat is right - if you really want to do it, you can. But the potential for problems is too high, and the likely usage too low, that I don't think it's a wise idea for us to include this in the base product. Just my thoughts.

That's why I said 'just about'. ;) In fact you could use <TAB> key to get to the multi-moderation drop-down and therefor not need the mouse, but I admit that it not as efficient as your proposal.
