Topic logs: moved from and where

Featured Replies

Posted

It would be very useful if topic logs have information where a topic was moved from. Now it has only by whom and when.

For better understanding, why would you care where it's moved from?

@Lindy I think, the information that a topic was moved is useless without the information where is was moved from ^_^

Sometimes there are situations when you need to know the history of the topic. For example, when the moderator moved it mistakenly.

having a trace history is helpful, I had to employ an add-on tool (advance tags & prefixes) so to first tag all the topics from one forum then merged two together

Months later it was decided that i needed to split them back, this case was different cause the mass move merge / split was of my own doing.

Since a post has a moderator history with regards edits I would say it's fair that moving a post qualifies as a moderator action and accordingly be logged. 

At the 35,000 foot view if there was a way to see a trend where there is a higher percentage of posts being moved from one place to another place this could be helpful to whom is doing the bulk of the work, and perhaps give you insight that the forum organization needs work or perhaps better descriptions & instructions.

Topics are logged, he is asking for more information here, which seems reasonable.

Fair enough.

How about move reason? Just like the hide reason.

Just to let you guys know that I solved this issue through a custom plugin developed by @newbie LAC

How about an option to have transparent moderator actions?

The idea would be like github issues/pull requests:

Reasoning: General openness depending on the community wanting to know what the staff are doing. Useful for deleting/hiding a post.

Textual example: For hiding a post, the log could read like: "Post by [x] has been hidden by [y]" (no reason given) or "Post by [x] has been hidden by [y] for: [z]" (reason (z) given)

@Gabriel Torres could you please give a link to this plugin?

@motomac

It works like a charm, you should contact @newbie LAC in private. This is a custom plugin not offered in the marketplace.

It's been a while, any chance that this will make it into 4.3? It would be really useful for undoing moves made by staff members, either because the move is contested or because it was moved to a temporary area to resolve an issue.
