Super Moderator Viewing IP Address

[Wisc]

I tried searching the manual without much luck.

I do notwant supermoderator to view ip addresses.

I do have it checked in the user group manager to can't view but still seems can see.

Anyone know what I might be missing?

Thank you in advance

What's wrong with them seeing an IP address?

[Wisc]

Don't want them spending time looking people up or cause trouble later if person becomes issue. Most of the time people are good, but sometimes they go sideways on you.

If that gets you paranoid, move them down to just moderators?

In forumjump template, find
<a href="online.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase whos_online}</a>
And change all with this
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 1">
<a href="online.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase whos_online}</a>
</vb:if>

Admins user ID suppose it is 1, if it is not change the number.

Don't now what vb version you have, just in case see if there is in navbar template to
and add vb:if condition same as above

If you dont trust them with IP Addresses, which dont mean that much, then they probably shouldnt be super moderators.

Off topic.
Maybe some times you have not other options and you are forced to have users as smod (not trusted). That i think @Wisc situation is.
Something i had when i begin my first steps creating a forum. Actually personal did not have problem, but in life all thinks are not going as we want.

P.S. Trust is a big word to say in our days. :)

"Seems" means what exactly? That it appears to you they are viewing IP addresses when you look in WoL? Just because they are visiting a link does not mean that page actually loads what it's supposed to be. If the perms are set correctly, they cannot view the IPs.

If you wish to prevent anyone from seeing IP addresses in postbits except for admins, then create the following plugin:

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: postbit_display_complete

Title: Hide Post IP Addresses From All Except Admins

Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6))
{
$post['iplogged'] = '';
}

Plugin is Active: Yes

Click "Save".

IP addresses mean a lot on gaming communities though, especially if it's a competitive game. People love to DDoS other players when they lose in a game.

So if thats a concern, my point stands, they should not be SMs.
