Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Elena-Viorica Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 So, it seems that flagging a member as a spammer hides all their posts from public view and unflagging them doesn't unhide them. One of my admins flagged an active member as a spammer because of a misunderstanding and now this member's 1000+ posts are hidden. I have to manually unhide all of them. How do I mass unhide them?
marklcfc Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 That's the reason I chose not to hide all posts as I could see that happening. Do they not appear in mod cp posts

Do they not appear in mod cp posts I don't understand what you're asking. The posts are visible for staff and they are highlighted in red. They are hidden. I have to unhide them one by one, cause I don't see a way to mass unhide them.

What @marklcfc is saying have you set up so that all new post need be checked by Mod/Staff if so then will have keep unhidding them as for mass checking depending on if one location then use the tick box found next to the IP/date or use a widget that will allow you check all post that need vaildating.

What does this have to do with validating posts? Please read my initial post carefully. You are not addressing the problem I'm mentioning. 1. A member was flagged as spammer by an admin. 2. As a result of point 1, all the member's posts became hidden (all the posts that the member made since she joined my forum) 3. I can unhide them if I go to the member's profile and search her posts, but that requires me to unhide them one by one. 4. I am asking if there is a way to unhide all the posts at once. This has nothing to do with validating posts.
Daniel F Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 No, there's no way to unhide them automatically at the moment, but we have an internal suggestion topic about this. The problem is that such feature would unhide all the content of a member and not only the content which was hidden by the spam management tool and I'm sure nobody wants to get content which was hidden by moderators unhidden automatically by a tool.

They do if one of your admin goes crazy and decides to abuse power by flagging all the members as spammers while you're offline. You'd have to spend days to unhide all the posts of all the members. A tool to unhide all posts made by a member would be quite useful.

I share Elena-Viorica's concerns. A filter to unhide based on who hid the content would minimize this problem because it's usually just one person who made the mistake or abused the feature. In cases where a mod made a mistake but the same mod also hid stuff that should remain hidden, it would help also being able to search the report archives for that user's problem posts to hide them again. A user with thousands of posts usually only has a tiny fraction of those posts hidden by moderators, so it's much easier to just review logs and hide problem content again than it is to manually select thousands of posts.
