how-to add moderators to ignore list?

[Sculli]

Situation:
My board has moderators for the public board area, I do not want my users to be able to ignore them. My board also has moderators for private usergroups. Because those mods for the private groups are "moderators" to the software, users are not able to put them on the ignore list.

I need to fix this so that users can ignore everyone but admins and public area mods. How would I do that?

Thanks in advance!

I am also looking for a solution to this issue, so 2 years on has anybody got any solutions?

My forum "moderation" team is setup as follows:

Administrators : Me
Super Moderators : Can mod all forums
Moderators : Can only moderate a single forum

I would like members to be able to ignore Moderators but not Admins or Super Mods.

From hunting around the code, this check seems to come from line 498 in profile.php

if (!$vbulletin->options['ignoremods'] AND can_moderate(0, '', $userinfo['userid'], $uglist) AND !($permissions['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']))
{
	standard_error(fetch_error('listignoreuser', $userinfo['username']));
}

Which I suppose could be edited, however I would prefer to not hack base code as this usually ends in tears when upgrades are performed

I think you will have to 'hack base code' here cuz the vboptions that you can turn on will not allow users to ignore *any* moderators.

Anyone make any progress with this?
