Miscellaneous Hacks - [OzzModz] Moderate Reported Posts

Another mod brought to you by,


This mod will allow admins to have reported posts sent to the moderation queue after they recieve a specified amount of reports.

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, ozzmodz_mod_reported_38

You can edit the options under the settings, [OzzModz] Moderate Reported Posts Settings Settings

Complete Feature List

• Option to disable the mod completely.
• Option to set which usergroups when they report a thread/post, and it reaches the specified amount, it gets sent to the moderation queue.
• Option to set which usergroups when they report a thread/post, it gets seent to the moderation queue, irregardless of the report count.

Things To Note
1) If the poster is a administrator, or a moderator, their thread/post will not go into the moderation queue, unless a admin reports a moderators post.
2) If a reporter that is not in a usergroup that is allowed, the report count is not increased, but they will not see the icon once they report a thread/post.
3) If a user reports a thread/post, they will not see the report icon on that thread/post anymore, but all other users will, this is to prevent abusing the system. But if the post does go into the moderation queue, and is subsequently approved, they will see the report icon again.
4) Once a thread/post is in the moderation queue, and it is approved, the report count starts back off at zero.
5) In order for the removal of the report icon to function properly, you need to have a Post Reporting Discussion Forum set, and no Post Reporting User set. You can find these settings in ACP --> vBulletin Options --> vBulletin Options --> User Infractions & Post Reporting Options.
6) Special thanks to kh99 and Scandal for helping out with some of the queries.


Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. Some admins might like to have threads/posts go into the moderation queue after a specified amount of reports.

Q. Why is the usergroup settings in a list form and not check boxes like you usually do?

A. I am trying out a different way, as to avoid vB being fussy about the check boxes in the settings.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

That's fantastic ozzy, was waiting long time for something like this.
A big thank for your work and happy new year to you.

[ozzy47]

Glad you like it, and thanks for marking as installed.

[Ramsesx]

Just installed and tested. Installation was longer than usual, it needed more than a minute to install after pressing import of product. Maybe it was just a browser issue, not sure about.
The product is working as expected, great. :up:
One suggestion, to prevent some silly users from misusing this and report posts just for fun it could be useful if there is a option to exclude specific users.
Thanks again.

[ozzy47]

Well, I don't know about the wait time, perhaps it just took some time to update the DB.

As far as excluding users, I don't think it's necessary, as it hides the icon once they report it. But you can use, [OzzModz] Disable Report Post Per User along with this mod, to get what you want.
