Hello everyone

I am seeking a modification to the moderation tools, what I need is for all new posts to go live as well as into the moderation queue. Once in the queue various moderators will need to be able to Approve, Hide or Edit posts that are already live. A couple of options would also be nice like to hold a post and leave it live for supervisor review as well as hold a post and hide it for supervisor review.

I would also need to keep the deleted posts forever so would need to be able to access them. I would like to be able to access Approved posts by date and by moderator, as well as the Pending areas by date.

Another fantastic feature would be to be able to email the member when their post is removed and to be able to choose between a couple of different email templates based on the violation or reason for removal.

If anyone can help me out please leave me a message.

it is impossible to have the posts live AND moderated at the same time... it is a status in the system... it is a OR... you will have to require a lot of code edits to duplicate that state.

Exactly which is why I am posting here, I need someone who can write / edit the code to do these things. I am looking for someone that would do it as contractor.

I spoke with someone at VBulletin.com yesterday and he said it would take about a day to write the code. He also said someone would have to create a new table in the data base and essentially any new information would be defaulted to an ‘No’ state.

He also said you could potentially use PHP developer and ‘robust’ vBulletin API to create a simple application that requires a moderator to switch the state from ‘No’ to ‘Yes’. ‘Yes’ being that is has been moderated.

We are willing to pay a developer to help us out here.
