Thanks WhSox21! I also would like to make two suggestions, maybe have the ability to make categories for tickets and make a ticket private.

I assume all the tickets are public and anyone can view. What if you want only the disputant and the mods to discuss it and view it.

[WhSox21]

No tickets are public. If you don't have admin access then you can only see the tickets you created. If you take ownership of the ticket then only you and the creator of the ticket can view the ticket. Viewing the ticket will give you the same rights as replying to the ticket.

Just installed this hack, very nice can't wait for the new version you are working on

[Deviant++]

I'd like my users to be able to see existing tickets ( in other words, a default setting to show previous tickets as a help index and the admins ability to hide selected tickets from public )
