Infraction System query

[jediteknoman]

Hey guys

I'm looking at a way to have the Infraction system work for Super Moderators to give an Infraction to Forum Administrators, is there a way to do this? Because I like to have this option available on the forum I'm running on.

The version I'm using is 3.6.8

Let me know, cheers.

This would need a modification. Default vBulletin will not allow for this.

Yea I can see what you mean.

Because well as a Forum Administrator, you are unable to to infract anyone who is the same rank as you. For SuperMods or Moderators, who want to be entitled to the same reason to be able to infract an Admin, should be made available.

I like the infraction system, personally I do not mind it but having this modifcation made available to do this would be awesome.

It would also make it possible for a (Super) Mod to ban an admin by giving infractions, doubt you want to take that risk.

True, however if there are certain guidelines and procedures to prevent those issues would be fine.

Currently the way I ran with my forum, I had it like go through a three tier system where Moderators report to SMods to Admins

Admins make the final decisions, if there was a personal dispute between staff members taken under a personal action. I would call it fair that infraction should apply to all members involved, including Admins without making the Admins look untouchable. I think it would be fair per se.

In this case, there was an SMod having a personal dispute with an Admin who had brought personal issues on the forum should have an infraction. But since the Smod can't do it and I as a Forum Administrator with the same rank as the other person can't do, I guess a good quick modication is needed for this.

If anyone is keen to make a quick modification for this, it would be awesome.
