That should be possible by simply adding a <if> statement to that section of code in the template. Someone else would need to post the exact code though.

Ok, since I like this thread and the comments added from Stoebi. I will assist you in the how to prevent mods from using the clear all or "Every" option.

As you know, a moderator using the added code provided, can ONLY clear bans from THAT thread that they are allowed to moderate in. Should they "try" the "every" option, it will fail. This was the design of Stoebis moderator code.

So should you STILL need to feel you want this blocked. Here is the code.
In the Style Manager, Edit SHOWTHREAD

Find:
<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">

Replace with:
<if condition="$show['btu_canban'] AND is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)"> 

The "6" is the default for the admin usergroup, meaning only anyone who is in part of that group, will be allowed to see those 2 options in the drop down.

Problem solved.

Hope that will assist you some. =)

Didn't work for me on 3.6.4--got a database error.

[professorb]

I was getting the database error, but then I used the xml from this post and I didn't get the error. So I made the changes to the two templates, as from the original readme, but I still can't get it to work.

Works for me with the provided 3.6 update.

Is there a way to ban a group from posting to a thread? I have a debate forum where only two members can post in the thread and all the other members should post in the commentary thread. But sometimes the other members will start posting in the debate thread. It would be great to use this mod to limit only the two debaters, but where all others only have view priv.

Anyways can this mod be made to do this? Or is there another mod out there already that has this feature?

Thanks!
