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

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

I've ported it and am half-way through adding the new features. It'll be released by the end of the week (hopefully).

Thanks,
Alan.

How come it says I don't have permission? It says
Sorry, you don't have permission to access the administrative controls on this page.

If you need to access this page, ask your lead administrator to enable your permissions for this page using the Administrator Permissions section of the control panel.

And the Administrator Permissions link says page cannot be displayed.. why?

[Alan @ CIT]

Did you remember to set your Usergroup to be allowed to Moderate PMs ?

Thanks,
Alan.

I have no need for this (yet) on my forums, but it looks very well thought out. Kudo's Alan.

I'll have to wait until I've upgraded, but one quick question.

Will the user who sends the PM be able to see that his/her PM is moderated? OR, does it simply send (like normally) without any message/warning to the user? Or could it be an admin choice?

Thanks
