This can make it hard to let a moderator do their job.

Chris M · #4 07-15-2005, 01:22 PM

Moderators really have no need to view IPs anyway - They cannot ban users with it, as thats an Admin-only feature

They can still view Users IPs in the Mod CP, but there is no way to control that without file edits

Most moderators are not smart enough to realise that anyway so removing it from Posts is enough to ensure a certain level of Security

Most boards I have run, when a member gets banned they come back with another IP addy and/or sign up again. My mods ( which I wouldnt have if they were as dumb as you described) look up the IP to figure out if past banned members have come back. They have actually caught a couple.

Btw, this point is moot if its an aol ip.

All this hack is doing is impairing their abilities. If you dont trust your mods with something simple as IP addys then they shouldnt be a mod.

A better mod would be to remove the ability for mods to prune threads.

I believe you already can with Moderator Permissions

And I am probably going to alter this hack to only disable viewing of the Admins IP

Admin's IP is a good idea.

I had ot alter the code on the modcp file to remove permissions for pruning. They now have a message that tells them they dont have permissions if they click on it.

Strange I would have thought the permissions system itself would have caught this - You may want to report that as a Bug at vB.com

No it is not part of any permission setting. Its in the index.php for modcp.

Chris M · #10 07-15-2005, 03:24 PM

Taken directly from /modcp/thread.php:

PHP Code:


			
if (!can_moderate(0, 'canmassmove') AND !can_moderate(0, 'canmassprune'))

{

    print_stop_message('no_permission');

}

There are some permissions already

If you are referring to Super Mods, there is nowhere to set their permissions, sadly

But I believe it was KirbyDE that released a Code Mod to control their permissions
