This mod may be useful in forums where you want your (large) group of moderators to have moderation privileges in every forum without having to assign them to each forum.

Hard work may not kill you, but why take chances?

Re: Global Moderation 1.0

Yes, you can still assign specific moderators to specific forums for looks and ownership (in our case each moderator still has their own assigned forums, we just want other moderators to be able to nab any naughtiness if the assigned mod isn't around at the time). This just adds a toggle switch to the moderator group's permissions to allow anyone belonging to the group to have moderation privileges anywhere in the forums.

Re: Global Moderation 1.0

Nice mod, Nick. Very needful to me. Thanks.

But it might be a bug. Now every specific moderator has moderation rights everywhere in the forum. Not only in his own specific forum.

You don't understand correct. There are two diferent types of moderators now. Global and specific ones. Global moderators have the right to do moderation stuff everywhere, so specific moderators only have the right to do this in their own specific forum. like it was in punbb before the mod.

Re: Global Moderation 1.0

Err, nope. There's still only one moderator group. This mod merely allows members of that group to moderate any forum. They can still be assigned to a specific forum, but that means little more than a name tag.

Re: Global Moderation 1.0

Ok, I've understand now. :-) But this makes no sense to me. The mod just break the limitations of the regular moderators. Well.

It's possible to make a much more crude mod then this which does what you want.

Re: Global Moderation 1.0

I had to take my own, home-made version of this mod and throw it out: I had an admin only forum that I realized mods could read from if they were bored enough to go through all possible ids using edit or delete. tongue
