Disable Hard Thread/Post Deletions
 

This little product disables hard deletes for everyone (ie, Supermods) but Admins.

Install
Just install the attached product XML as normal. It adds 3 plugins.

Note
This doesn't do anything to the Prune functions in the ModCP, so if the user has access to that, then it's likely they can still hard delete threads and posts. This product only stops them doing it using inline moderation, and the thread tools menu.

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though :) See you all in early September! :D

Enjoy!

Version 1.1: This now hides the Hard Delete option as well.

Thank you! :)

Thanks, I was looking for something like this.

Alan,

Is it possible you could modify this plugin for us so that it will hide the hard delete option all together so they cant even see the option to check the hard delete box?

Also is it possibly you could modify this to prevent them from deleting the attachments too?

The way im looking at this, at least on my forums, is that if i am wanting to keep a post, I definetly dont want the attachments deleted as they are part of the post.

I hope you consider my request.

Thank you very much.

Doug

Doug: Yep, not a problem. I won't be able to do anything until Monday I'm afraid, but I'll add the features you've requested to it then.

workin on vB 3.5.1 ?

Alan,

Thats excellent news! Thank you.

As Moosa mentioned, this plug I assume will work on VB 3.5.1 as well right?

Doug

I haven't tested it on 3.5.1, but there is no reason it wouldn't work.

Ok thanks Alan.

Doug

This does not appear to work on 3.5.1
