Miscellaneous Hacks - List Reported Items

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is something we have been using for the last few years on Cable Forum, it displays a list of reported posts and reported private messages - for both staff and members to see.

The list shows ;

Reported Date/Time
Reporter (Staff Only)
Thread Title
Post Number
Actioned Date/Time
Moderator Who Actioned.

Warning: For this system to work you must have vbulletin set-up to create a new thread for each report. Installing this will disable the e-mail reporting, so until you have a report forum set, reporting will be disabled.

On the reported posts page members can click on the Actioned Moderator name to see any comment left by the moderator.

A report is considered as actioned by the first staff member to reply in the report thread. The comments are read from that first post (by default it reads anything inside quote tags).

Staff can click on the reporter to be taken directly to the report thread.

Staff Usergroups are defined in the mods settings - also the number of days to show reports for is defined in the settings.

If enabled, this will also add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links. There is also an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.

This will only list reported posts and private message's.

Thanks paul.. it makes sense... if both options are turned off, where reported post would go
enabling email moderator solves the issue.

is it possible to send a notify/pm to the moderators? so they can know that there is a reported post!

and how can i make the reported post list between the reporter and moderators? so it will list the reposters that he/she sent and our actioned.

thanks Paul.

Mod installed on vB 4.0.1, and after reporting post does not appear in the list of reported posts. What could be wrong?

To make this modification work, you MUST have reporting set to create a new thread in a specified reported posts forum, doing this removes the need to enable emailing. Are you sure you set this up correctly ?

Nope, nor is it necessary, they can see them both in the specified forum, or by viewing this list.
