Disable Hard Thread/Post Deletions

This little product disables hard deletes for everyone (ie, Supermods) but Admins.

Install
Just install the attached product XML as normal. It adds 3 plugins.

Note
This doesn't do anything to the Prune functions in the ModCP, so if the user has access to that, then it's likely they can still hard delete threads and posts. This product only stops them doing it using inline moderation, and the thread tools menu.

Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

Enjoy!

Version 1.1: This now hides the Hard Delete option as well.

Could you point me to an option which actually disables supermods from hard deleting, mass pruning, etc... like Andreas's plugin was designed to do in 3.5.x? I'm seeing absolutely no options for supermod permissions like you're describing.

Also, since the hook location can_moderate_supermod is no longer present in 3.6.x, does anyone else have a way to make this work?

I'm kinda disappointed this kind of supermod permissions are not a default feature.

Where is this system at? I can't find options to do this.

Hope that helps.
