Message Editing Hierarchy

Hi,

Have you ever noticed that Admins and Super Moderators can edit/delete/peak everyone's messages in your forum? This also applies to Moderators for the board they are assigned.

Normally this shouldn't be a problem, but on bigger sites with a lot of Mod's it could lead to problems sometimes, so that's the reason, why i ported over Logicians vb2 hack, changed it to use actual vb3 variables and permission systems.
So great Thanks to my Pal Logician, who's intro post has been rewritten by me as well

After applying the hack default editing permissions in your board will be changed like this:

• Moderators: Can edit everyone's posts in the forum they're assigned, UNLESS author is another Moderator, SuperMod or Admin.
• SuperModerators: Can edit everyone's post in all boards UNLESS author is another SuperMod or Admin.
• Admins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards UNLESS user is another Admin
• SuperAdmins: Can edit eveyone's post in all boards (Superadmins are defined in config.php)

So the hack will apply a "message editing hierarchy" in your board and everyone will be able to edit messages for ones who are below him and cant touch messages of his superiors..If they try, they'll get no permission page. This will apply for editing the messages, deleting the message via edit message or just peaking inside it. But be warned: messages can still be deleted via "Delete Thread / Posts" menu..

The hack is VERY EASY to install with 1 single modification and will work in any vbulletin3 versions I know..

If you install the hack, please click install, thank you..

Enjoy!

This is almost what I was looking for, but too bad it does not completely work for 3.6.x

I used it in conjuction with the other plugin from Xenon
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82599

I tested it in my forum (3.6.5) and came out with partial results.

The quick edit is well covered as moderators were not allowed to edit or delete threads by superior users(admins, supermods etc..)

But there were two problems
- The first was with the post Moderation dropdown menu. When you select an Admins post/thread, you can delete/move/copy/merge it with no problems.

- The second is the Thread Tools. A moderator is still able to delete/edit/move... an Admins thread..

Can anyone make a port of this beautiful hack for 3.6.x

Clicked install and waiting for some updates..
