Moderators Functions - [DBTech] Threadmins and Group Moderators v2 (vB4)

Threadmins and Group Moderators is a moderation enhancement for single users (who can receive permissions to modify their own threads, or single threads and social group discussions) as well as allow for usergroups to be set as 'group moderators' and allow the users in such usergroups the same moderator permissions.

Uses
Threadmins and Group Moderators is a self moderation system that allows threads to be moderated by the user that created them. Users can be given permissions to edit, delete, sticky, open/close or be immune to such actions. Also it allows users to be assigned as moderators to a single thread or to a single Social Group discussion and allows usergroups to be assigned as moderators to forums.

Users should be able to edit posts of other users (if they're thread starters) and there is option to soft delete posts while editing. Not as in inline moderation, where you can select posts and then select action to be done on them.

I do have one issue though. I've set-up a specific sub forum to have delete & close access, however there are no available options to them to be able to soft delete other user posts.

Alan is right, this is the only way currently to soft delete a user's posts.

New version has excellent possibilities.

There's so much new and exciting features in new version. :up:

Hello.
Is it compatible with vB 3.8.x?

[sadiq6210]

The thread author can delete any post in his thread BUT he cannot edit any post.

Is this feature available in the lite version?

I'm not sure if you are reporting a bug or whether it is a question... so I'll assume you are asking a question...

There are two sections to this mod... User Threads which allows a user to edit the other posts in their own thread has editing and soft delete permissions for per user and per forum/usergroup combo, but there are no default permissions for a usergroup (as in they automatically can edit their own threads) as that is a Pro only feature.

Threadmins allows any user to be added as a moderator to any thread. The Lite version allows editing, but only the Pro version allows for deleting of any sort.

I hope that helps answer your question.

Matt

It is a question

Yes I mean this.
What I want is >> the users can moderate their own threads but I don't want to give them the permissions to edit the others posts in their own threads.

I noticed that if I want to give the user the permissions to delete, then I should give him before the permissions to edit.
I want to give them the permissions to only delete the others post in their own threads but not to edit

The question is:
If the user can't edit the others posts in his thread, then how can he delete the posts? because there will be no (edit) button to delete the post.

I wish my question is clear =) Thanks Matt
