I've seen this question asked in a few places, but I haven't found an answer yet: how do I change the default permissions given to a new moderator, ie. the values of the radio buttons on the "Add New Moderator to Forum" page? For example, the default is that "Can View IP Address" is yes, but I'd like it to be "No" for all mods and I don't want to entirely rely on admins remembering to set it to "No".

A related question is: how do easily change all the existing mod permissions? I suppose I'd have to run some SQL update statement, but can anyone provide any tips on this?

Figured it out, in case anyone else is interested. You need to edit the includes/xml/bitfield_vbulletin.xml file and set the attribute default="0" or default="1". See http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=290709

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