Private Messaging reasons for deletion from inside modcp/admincp

[Asti]

Hi everyone,

One of the things we would love to be able to do on our forum is give the Moderators the ability to post a reason for a post deletion that is emailed to the writer of the post (or send via Private Message) from inside the mod/admin control panel.

If a post needs to be deleted, the Moderator can send a Private Message to the member who wrote it, letting them know "why".

Ideally, this message would include:

The username of the moderator.
A copy of the post.
The mod's reason for the deletion.

Even more ideally would be the additional option for the member to re-submit their post with changes, but that is not important if too hard...

Any help/advice would be brilliant :-)

Thanks!
Anna

If this is an option for you, i would suggest to wait for vB3.5. Moderation should have a lot of improvements in that release.

Hi there,

Thanks for that suggestion - do you know how far away that release is?

There should be a public beta release somewhere next month according to the latest info at vbulletin.com
