Can it be extended by approving some users instead of banning some users ?

Thanks

working flawless on 3.5.3 , love this hack

Don't understand what you're talking about. If you want to make threads private by default.. look for another hack :)

How about.. allowing the Thread Starter to ban people from their threads? :)

(Your hack is way cool, just making an additional suggestion.)

Hmm, would have to do some additional checking of permissions.. as for now just test if they have global moderator permissions.

Even so however, I don't really see how I could implement it without making it an option.. cause I doubt most boards would want their members able to ban ppl from threads regardless if they created it or not.

I reckon that could be open for too much abuse.

EG. User A starts thread totally slating user B ... user B reacts once but then can't respond or defend himself any further.

It would be good if standard moderators could use it in their own forums though.

Nice! I remember the old vB2 one.

Apparantly only admins are able to use this?

hmm Supermods should be able to.

My personal thoughts are that banning should be left to higher permission levels ie. supermods/admins.

If you think your mods are trusty enough bump them up ;)

I'll investigate. Just I had a supermod today say they couldn't do anything.

Edit: I was able to view the option in a test super mod account so maybe the user's secondary usergroup has something to do with it, though that's a hidden admin one.

I'll keep you posted.

Edit 2: False alarm. They were reporting for the wrong board. :D (We both work at more than one).
