This can make it hard to let a moderator do their job.

Moderators really have no need to view IPs anyway - They cannot ban users with it, as thats an Admin-only feature ;)
They can still view Users IPs in the Mod CP, but there is no way to control that without file edits ;) Most moderators are not smart enough to realise that anyway so removing it from Posts is enough to ensure a certain level of Security :) Satan |

Most boards I have run, when a member gets banned they come back with another IP addy and/or sign up again. My mods ( which I wouldnt have if they were as dumb as you described) look up the IP to figure out if past banned members have come back. They have actually caught a couple. Btw, this point is moot if its an aol ip. All this hack is doing is impairing their abilities. If you dont trust your mods with something simple as IP addys then they shouldnt be a mod. A better mod would be to remove the ability for mods to prune threads. |

And I am probably going to alter this hack to only disable viewing of the Admins IP :) Satan |

I had ot alter the code on the modcp file to remove permissions for pruning. They now have a message that tells them they dont have permissions if they click on it. |

Taken directly from /modcp/thread.php:
PHP Code:
If you are referring to Super Mods, there is nowhere to set their permissions, sadly :( But I believe it was KirbyDE that released a Code Mod to control their permissions :) Satan |

I said it when vB3.0.x came out, but nobody listened really - Supermod permissions is a must-have >_< I'll request it again on vB.com - Maybe they'll realise how important it is and add it in to 3.5 ;) Edit: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76502 Satan |

It would be nice to itemize the features they could have. Like giving them access to certain admin functionalities without give them the whole thing. I mean this can be done currently but not without altering the code on the index pages. |

When this happens, more control over what Navigation Options and Links users with levels of permissions can see should be easier to implement and alter :) Until then, Super Moderator permissions should mimic Moderator controls which you edit on the forums they moderate, with perhaps a few extra permissions added relating to what level of IP they can view etc for both groups ;) Satan |
Regarding Supermod Permissions:
As there seems to be a Feature Freeze for vB 3.5, I somewhat doubt that Supermod Permissions will make it into this release. For those who need it, take a look at my Profile for a Hack to set Supermod Permissions like normal Mod Permissions. |

I was just hoping that the vB devs would add it as a default feature ;) Satan |
Hello, Hellsatan,
First, thank you for writing this mod. :) Could you please tell me the steps I need to do to ONLY hide the ADMINS IP from the moderators? I do not want them other members IP's hidden. Thanks. :) |

[high]Update[/high]
RC1: Update to confirm that this plugin works with vBulletin 3.5.0 RC 1:) Satan |
this hack is funny lmao
|
It is not adviceable to let mods see ip addresses of users. I heard once of a politics forum owner being taken to court because one of the mods had an agenda and put some guy's usernames on the board and threatened to show the public all ips he/she was accesing the forum under. Mod was fired but then mod got pissed at admin and published on forum all usernames of user and ips. I don't know, some privacy laws. Be careful and never let your mods know users' information. I'll sure install this mod!
|
threadadmin_editthread and threadadmin_logbit need to be edited also ;)
