Message Editing Hierarchy

Have you ever noticed that Admins and Super Moderators can edit/delete/peak everyone's messages in your forum? This also applies to Moderators for the board they are assigned.

Normally this shouldn't be a problem, but on bigger sites with a lot of Mod's it could lead to problems sometimes.
This is a Plugin version of my vb3.0 hack i released here,

After applying the hack default editing permissions in your board will be changed like this:

• Moderators: Can edit everyone's posts in the forum they're assigned, UNLESS author is another Moderator, SuperMod or Admin.
• SuperModerators: Can edit everyone's post in all boards UNLESS author is another SuperMod or Admin.
• Admins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards UNLESS user is another Admin
• SuperAdmins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards (Superadmins are defined in config.php)

So the hack will apply a "message editing hierarchy" in your board and everyone will be able to edit messages for ones who are below him and cant touch messages of his superiors..If they try, they'll get no permission page. This will apply for editing the messages, deleting the message via edit message or just peaking inside it. But be warned: messages can still be deleted via "Delete Thread / Posts" menu..

If you install this plugin, please click install, thank you..

Enjoy!

Do you mind if I integrate this hack into my port of your Adv. Editing Options? :P So that it be a 2-in-1

[Xenon]

yep, because they are different hacks, and should stay so.

i would ahve merged the two vb3 versions already if i would feel they would belong together

had it on 3.0.8 thanks again!

Do anyone have this working with 3.53?

[Mikecp421]

yes I do and it works fine!

Thanks ! Works great, only you don't really have a clue what's going on when trying to edit a post you don't have permission for, as it looks like some sort of "bug" when trying to edit someones post.. since you only get the text of the post, and in "quickedit".. when you hit save, you get the post, only with no background o_0

It's not working with 3.5.3 for me.. it was working with 3.0 hmmm

Mods cannot delete the messages but SuperMods can delete the messages of Admins. Something is not working as it should.

Because it's not working for you ... and the same here. Right after importing the plugin, I cannot see where the actual plugin is listed.

[DocBenny]

for me it's listed.. under plugin manager.
