This is great mod. However. It supposed to be used with big forums. In the same time, it adds 4 new fields to the "posts" table, and one of it - varchar 100.
Adding varchar100 to "posts" through admincp is almost unreal operation if your posts table have couple of millions records.
Also, adding VC100 to "posts" will badly impact the performance. I am not speaking about possible extra queries.
We really need something like that. But we need to minimize the impact on performance. Just having a checkbox on the thread "checked by moderator" is enought, with the option (admincp option) to auto uncheck it if someone made a reply. In this case we just need to add 1 flag to "threads" (wich is much smaller then "posts")
I know, in this case, the list of features will be not that impressive, but at least, it will be possible to use it on the big forums.
May be someone knows the plugin like I described? May be author can create a modification?
Your help will be appreciated!
