Mini Mods - Remove Report Post Icon if Post Reported Already by BOP5

This is as simple as mods come.

2 lines of code in 1 plugin. No options, just import the xml file and it's activated. Disable the mod or uninstall it to remove.

No other instructions.

This mod simply removes the "Report Post" icon from a post if someone already reported the post.

Enjoy.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

Don't all go nominating this Mod of the Month at once- you might crash the site.

Should work on all VB 3.8 & 4.x versions.

What happens to the post/thread once it has been dealt with?

Once it has been reported the icon is gone forever.

We find it important to know when multiple users report a post. Then it's not just one person offended, but multiple. Gives the report more weight.

This mod isn't for everyone. On my forum it doesn't matter if you're offended- it either broke the rules or not. 1 report is plenty.

Good point. We should also do away with jury trials - one man's opinion is all that's needed to make judgements.

Maybe I'm missing something. When subsequent members report a post it simply adds another post in the same thread as the first saying "X has also reported this item.". Then it quotes their reason. Often this reason is a totally different angle than the other people's reasons.

At that point staff is probably already discussing the offense so adding a post here and there with other reasoning only aids the discussion.
