Moderator Checkpoint System
For boards with a large moderating staff, it can be difficult to know who has checked what post and which threads are completely checked. The goal of the Moderator Checkpoint System is to ensure that moderators don't read over the same post(s) twice, leaving them to spend this time checking other posts/threads.
The core functionality of the Moderator Checkpoint System (MCS) is the ability (for those with appropriate permission) to mark threads/posts as having been "Checked" - indicating that no further action is required and the thread(s)/post(s) has/have been given the OK by a Staff Member. When a post is marked as checked, the checking user's User ID, Username, and a timestamp is stored in the database. This information then appears on the checked post(s), and the post will change markup (depending on your customizations through the included options) indicating the post has been checked. This process is, of course, completely invisible to the community at-large, and only those Users with adequate permission will be allowed to Check/Uncheck and view Checked posts/threads.
Because some Moderators may like to browse forums normally, a feature has been integrated that will allow each user to Enable/Disable viewing the forum in "Moderation Mode" at their leisure. Disabling Moderation Mode will return the display of posts/threads to their normal state.
Features
Forumdisplay
Threads can be (Admin Optional) colored according to whether they are completely checked -OR- contain unchecked posts.
A new column next to "Views" will display the number of Unchecked Posts in each thread.
Clicking the "Unchecked" column's header will allow the user to sort threads by the least/most number of unchecked posts, allowing them to see which threads need the most attention.
Threads can be (Admin Optional) marked as "Checked", thereby checking ALL the posts in a thread. This is useful for large, old threads which you know contain no problem posts.
Showthread
Posts can be (Admin Optional) colored according to whether they have been checked -OR- remain to be checked.
Checked posts will display the Date/Time they were Checked and the Moderator Username/User ID who checked it. (Unchecked posts will have text indicating as much)
Posts can be marked as Checked/Unchecked via Inline Moderation.
"Active Checking" is utilized.
Active Checking is a feature which each User can Enable/Disable at their leisure. When Active Checking is Enabled, each time the User visits a thread, the posts displayed on that page will be marked as "Checked". The idea is that when in Active Checking mode, the User is actively reviewing the posts that they are reading, thus each can be marked as Checked.
Newly Checked Posts can be (Admin Optional) colored to indicate their recent activity. This coloring is visible only to the Checking User and is intended to serve as a guide for them to see which posts they, in their current session, have checked.
Update Counters
If you ever feel your counters (Unchecked Count per Thread) are off, there is an Update Counters feature included in the modification. To access this feature, go to your AdminCP -> Maintenance (Very bottom) -> Update Counters -> Update Checkcount Counters (Very bottom).
Installation
Import the Product XML file.
(a) IMPORTANT: THIS PRODUCT ADDS COLUMNS TO YOUR DATABASE'S POST TABLE. IF YOU HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF POSTS, THE IMPORT PROCESS WILL TAKE SOME TIME (AND MAY APPEAR TO HANG); IT IS *IMPORTANT* THAT YOU DO NOT EXIT YOUR BROWSER DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS

Great addon, but i got the following error, when i want to enable or disable
the moderation mode in my forum:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/includes/functions.php(2948) : eval()'d code on line 224
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/includes/functions.php(2948) : eval()'d code on line 224
That error indicates that your php doesn't have enough memory allocated to complete the operation. You can either increase your memory_limit setting in php.ini to xxM (something larger than what you currently have) or to temporarily up your limits edit your includes/config.php file and add this line right under the <?php line:
ini_set("memory_limit", "xxM");
(You can view your current memory_limit in Maintenance > View PHP Info . If it's 16M, try 32M. If it's 32M, try 64M. If it's 64M, try 92M or 128M, etc.)
