Lock Post Moderation v1.0 · **Released**: 04-05-2005

Description
This will allow moderators of the forums, s.mods and admins to "Lock" posts. By locking a post, the original member who posted that post is then unable to edit/delete that post (unless that member has moderation permissions).

Pointless you may think? Perhaps, but some staff want to keep posts intact after editing them for whatever reason, and instead of locking the thread, just stop the member from editing out whatever the staff member has modified/added, this can be accomplished by using this modification.

Features:
- Uses Phrases (I know!! I finally used them!! =O)
- Ability To "Lock/Unlock" Posts via "Edit Post" page.
- Error Message Returned If Post Is Locked & No Moderation Permissions Upon Trying To Edit/Delete The Post

It's a simple addition, but affective, maybe it will come in handy, who knows, screenshots below, enjoy

Can i do so when a post is locked it is only the Admin who can edit the post and not the Mods?

Yes, a "Can use Post Lock yes|no" in group options would be great.

Is there anyway, is a s. admin locks the post, no mods/admins can post ijn it aswell?

Two features I would definitely like to see in this hack:

1. Lock all posts in a thread option for mods/admins in "Thread Tools". So all posts in a thread and future threads are locked automatically. This is very helpful for competitions where users are asked to answer a question, or to predict a result of the game, etc.

2. "Save Changes" button doesnt work right now when you click on "Lock post" option. You have to click on the "Lock the Post" button. If we can get it to work with "Save Changes" button, it will definitely save me time. Right now, I have to click on edit message, clear out the bad stuff, click on "Save Changes" button, then click on edit again to Lock the post. So have to click twice.

I hope to see these options in the future versions. Great hack, keep it up.

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