Reported post creates new thread.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This plugin modifies the reported post system to create a new thread in a pre-selected forum and disables the send of reported post e-mails. This is a port of the version run on our forums, which is based on the original Xenon hack. This is posted with his permission.

Version 2.01 is now released as a product. Download the xml file and then import it into your forum using the product manager.

Everything you need is now imported - there is also no need to edit the plugin anymore - instead you set the id of your reported posts forum in the vBulletin Options > General Settings area.

If you wish to upgrade from version 1 then delete the current plugins and template associated with this hack - then import the product - and set the forum id in the vb options.



History:

v2.01 : First Release.

Nice hack

Is it possible to implement the reported forum also?

We have plenty of active forums (300+) with over 40 moderators, it would be nice for them to see from which forum the post which is reported originally was....

If you look back in the thread there are instructions on how to add the forum name - with the one minor problem that some special charecters don't get displayed correctly.

Nice, but I prefer reported posts to be PMed to mod. I have a big forum, several hundreds boxes and mods, hundred thoundsands members, lots of argument between fans. It would be a mess if every reported post going to one predefined forum

and it's not a mess with them all going to mods ?

[vampireus]

It's about music, USUK/Korea/Japan/China/German/Russian/French/Vietnam ...etc, each has several dozens of boxes for singers and bands. The same with pop/rock/dance/dj/classical ... etc. So it's a big forum with hundreds of small boxes, each has its own moderators. It's just that we need lots of moderator to run their own boxes, so reported posts should be sent to who in charge, not to one forum where all mods have to look at piles of report unrelated to them, and dig out reports from their own boxes

Sure, if you want to write it then it's perfectly possible. It's not going to happen with this hack though.

Thank you, it works perfectly. I'm positive that any future reported posts will be given a much faster response time as opposed to an email.

Sorry, you will need to find someone else to do this for you.
