Default Infraction System - How to send anonymous PM's
<font color="Red">See how in post #14 below!</font>

Is there a way to modify the Infraction system to send a PM via a "generic account" like the "Automatic Mod" this way when you issue the infraction the user can't see who it's from? I am sure this must be easy to do.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just a cursory review of infraction.php and it looks hard-coded in there...
Code:
	$infdata->set('whoadded', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
If you change the code, don't forget other areas for PMs and emails.

Hmmmm.. tried playing with it and I can get it to display nothing in the ISSUED BY filed... but then doesn't update the user's infraction profile...

Any good coders in here able to chime in?

I have no problems modifying code.. I just need to know where and to what. Basically as long as the user can't see who it is from and preferably from a made up name or fake account.

Just create an account to log into when you give infractions.

Why not make an anom account and just put it down as the user that gives the infractions?

But then you have to log out then back in again... Use to have AWS and it let you send warnings from anyone you want.. Just seems so simple to do... Someone on here must have the skills!

Something just seems Wrong about hiding behind anonymous infractions. Are you afraid, or ashamed?

FWIW, we rarely infract immediately, and instead wait for a day's worth of discussion about the problem in the Moderators forum, at which time one of us that doesn't know the person will assume the task of infracting them.

But I've rarely shied away from volunteering for the job. Assuming the violation of the written rules was clear, I have no problem discussing it with the miscreant, and explaining it to them. I can't imagine just dishing them out anonymously.

Well it depends what kind of forum you run... In this case people take infractions personally and if they know who it came from they go and complain to the other mods and it just creates Drama. Our old site had AWS installed and allowed for anonymity and it worked great.. so we rather not change what was already there.

For now we will be logging out and into our "moderator" account. Looks like i will just have to code this myself.
