Private Messages Enhancements - Report Bad PM

Report Bad PM for vB3.7
Version 1.0.5
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This mod will allow the member to report a bad PM to the the Admin or Mods that you choose to receive the report. It also has a setting to start a thread in the forum of your choice for PM reports. I don't use that option as I don't think it reporting PMs in threads is a very smart idea, but I know I will be asked to add it and since it was already there, I left it in.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 -- Initial release for vBulletin 3.7.0 beta 4.
Version 1.0.2 -- Fixed missing TABLE_PREFIX.
Version 1.0.3 -- Re-did the PM template to be more in line with default vB PMs.
Version 1.0.4 -- Re-did the e-mail template to be more in line with default vB e-mails. Fixed datamanager error if PM receiver was over their PM quota. Added reportpmlog file, available to Super Admins only, to view and manage Bad PM Reports via the Admin CP.
Version 1.0.5 -- Updated with securitytoken.

Note: This will now work with both the posbit and postbit_legacy templates. This now is set at ON on install as well as User ID 1 receiving the Bad PM reports.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Paul M for most of the re-write for this for 3.5.4. Also, I want to thank to cheesegrits for his invaluable help on fixing the datamanager error while using the quote tags in the PM messages and helping me put the finishing touches on this new version. Last but not least, thanks goes to Dismounted for his permission for the use of his code for the automatic button insert into the template. Thank you, sir.

The English phrase is already there for this. When you mouse over it now it says:

Report this Private Message

Just look for the text in the phrase search and change it to what you want.

Awesome Mod. Is there a way to exclude certain member groups from being reported?

I didn't add that as I wanted it to be able to report anyone in case there was a rogue Mod or staff member on a site. Although rare, those things do happen. And I would want to know if someone was harassing or causing problems in PMs no matter who they were.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I agree on that point and that is rare but a real possibility. We run one of the largest American football message boards in the world and we have a lot of rabid fans. My concern is the tit-for-tat reporting of Mods by members who are pissed off because they were given warnings or infractions.

[Boofo]

Well the best thing would be to make a rule for the site regarding reporting PMs. No matter how tit-for-tat it may be, if a user has a genuine concern, it should be addressed. And if you DO ever have a rogue mod and they know they are exempt from being reported, think of the havoc they can cause before you find out about it. This is a very seriouis hack that should not be allowed to be abused.
