vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Make indevidual threads follow moderated posts rules?

Jah-Hools · #1 04-13-2009, 12:25 PM

The forum has grown to an extent where we are reaching a crossroads where the hardcore veterans dislike the newbies and trouble makers can chase away VIP contributors.

I am looking for strategies to manage this - without engendering feelings of overt elitism and snobbishness, shutting a door in the face of people not in the 'in crowd'. So suggestions please! Any gratefully received!

Meanwhile - is it possible to set the moderators up with the ability to:

1) Isolate trouble threads..
2) quickly make them follow moderated post rules
3) have it so a moderator written notice pops up when people try to access that thread explaining the situation..

??

Or would that require moving the thread to a special sub forum ? (that would be a drag..)

Many thanks,

:up:
