[Suggestion] Moderation BBCode

[Hasbro]

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:

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....

[Hasbro]

I did not use Ikonboard, however a feature like that sounds very convenient :)

Multi-moderation can just about achieve all you want, based on your description.

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.

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.

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.
