Moderators Functions - PM Moderation

PM Moderation
Version 1.0

Introduction

PM Moderation does exactly what it says on the tin! It allows you to moderate your members Private Messages before they are sent.

Ever had a new member sign up and do nothing but spam your members with Private Messages inviting them to leave your forum and join theirs? Or perhaps you've got 1 particular user who constantly sends abusive Private Messages to your other members? If so, then PM Moderation is the idea solution!

Features

PM Moderation contains many handy features to make your life as a forum Adminstrator or Moderator easier. These include

• Integrates fully with vBulletin 3.6.0 Beta 2!
• Fully Usergroup Controlled
• Moderate ALL Private Messages for a Particular Usergroup or...
• Moderate Private Messages that have certain Keywords in them!
• Simple Usergorup Permission for deciding who can Moderate Private Messages
• Integrated within the existing Private Messaging Options in the AdminCP
• Moderate Private Messages directly from within the ModCP and AdminCP
• Fully Phrased
• ... and much more!

Installation

Please see the manual.html in the zip for a full Installation and Configuration guide

Credits

PM Moderation was written by Alan @ CIT. The original idea came from Floris with the Keyword idea coming from an anonymous person. Thanks goes to everyone who helped test this modification before it was released, and in particular peterska2 who did a ton of Beta testing, and fixed countless bugs in my dodgy code


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!

PLEASE NOTE: This thread is NOT the place to discuss the rights and wrongs of monitoring users Private Messages. That topic has been discussed to death many times before, but if you really feel the need to discuss it, please do so in The Lounge, not in this thread. Thank you

There is a problem with this hack. When a member tried to view the private message "click on the Preview Message botton", the message will be sent directly. So, he/she cannot view it before sending it. Is there a way to fix this?

Nice hack, thanks

installed on 3.6.4 and all is fine.. however all users decided not to send PMs today so I am not sure how it is gonna be

one problem though.. I don't like to see the opion in ModCP for 2 reasons, rasing questions and chance of abuse

any chance to leave it in AdminCP only?


Thanks

Yes, you can simply:
1. put the PHP file in the admincp folder
2. change the path of that file in XML file(s)

but I have one question: do you have the same problem that I have:

?

Is there a way to exclude PMs sent/received from/to some usergroups?
I get a lot of filtered pm sent to me (admin).
