Disable Hard Thread/Post Deletions · **Released**: 11-03-2005

This little product disables hard deletes for everyone (ie, Supermods) but Admins.

Install
Just install the attached product XML as normal. It adds 3 plugins.

Note
This doesn't do anything to the Prune functions in the ModCP, so if the user has access to that, then it's likely they can still hard delete threads and posts. This product only stops them doing it using inline moderation, and the thread tools menu.

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!

Enjoy!

Version 1.1: This now hides the Hard Delete option as well.

If anyones still using this hack, I'd recommend Andreas' method - a lot cleaner and simpler than mine

Thanks,
Alan.

this one i guess:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....78&postcount=8

No, post #24:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....2&postcount=24

It disables physical deletion for admins, too

Yes, already known

Isn't his version a file edit?

And it is already disabled by default for Mods without any hacks added?

Did you able to find a way to exclude admins?

Boofo · #38 05-27-2006, 01:29 PM

Nope, haven't figured out how to do any of it yet.

Just upgrade to vb 3.6 if you haven't done it yet :P

$return = ($do != 'canremoveposts' AND $do != 'canmassprune');

This disables physical delete for inlinemod, thread tools and mass prune in modcp for supermods.

I would like to implement this to my 3.5.x vBulletin board, but I don't know how to do it. How do I install this plugin? May anyone help me?

Thanks in advance :nervous:

Have you considered upgrading to 3.6.X? The improved permissions system for Moderators/Administrators has the ability to stop them from doing this.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
