Moderators Functions - Report Thread Prefix Management

Overview:

This product allows you and your moderating staff to more easily distinguish between report threads (including those generated by my Profile Reporter) that have not yet been resolved from those that have been taken care of by using colored prefixes for the threads.



Upon installation, a new prefixset is created consisting of two thread prefixes...one for unresolved report threads (bright red) and one for resolved report threads (darker green with strikeout text). These prefixes will only be available in the forum you have designated for report threads, and in the forum you have designated for auto-reported posts if you have "MarkFL: Automated Post Reporter" installed and active. If you uninstall the product, then the prefixset is removed from your database.

When a post is initially reported, the unresolved prefix is auto-added to the report thread. Then when someone on your staff (those with access to the report threads and with moderating privileges) posts to say what they have done to resolve the issue, they will find a checkbox in the "Moderation Tools" portion of the "Additional Options" block on the posting form for actions to be taken after submitting their message that will allow them to mark the report as resolved.



If a report thread has been previously marked as resolved, but another staff member is posting to add additional information and wishes to revert the thread back to an unresolved status, they will find that the added checkbox will mark the thread as unresolved.



In addition, an item has been added to the "Thread Tools" menu to allow your staff to change the status of reports without having to post.



You have the option to record the actions taken by this product in the moderator log. You can choose to record all actions, or just when the prefix is changed without posting, or not at all.

It is working fine on 4.2.5

Another mod I installed missed up all plugins, after restoring a backup, this mod worked fine.

My apology.

Thanks!

Hello Mark I love the addon of you.
I have a question, I will install it n my vb4, but is it synonymous for vb3.8.11?

Many Thanks

This one will work for vB 4.2.x, but I have a version for vB 3.8.x.

I really like this mod! Very handy! The only problem is that when you reply to a post, the bottom part where you can check "resolve" or "unresolve" before submitting post, doesn't work (4.2.5). I have to use the thread tools to do it.

Great job!

I use this on multiple vB 4.2.5 sites without that issue. Perhaps there is a conflict with another product?

when I view the reported post the rich text does this in my forums... see attachment, any ideas how to stop that?
