TBG Forums

After much discussion in the mod only forums we decided to make a modified PMing system that has reporting. We need all the help we can get so if you are a programmer please come and help. Once it is done we will  use it and give out the code for anyone to use.

the programming will be happening here (in this topic).

program awey!

1st post on sticky

@SJR: what was the value of that message?

Anyways, I can probably help out, but I think you need to provide more information.  You said "modified", meaning that we are basing it off of something.  What are we basing it off of?  What language are we using?  I assume PHP.  That kind of thing.

That epic feeling you get when you get 1st post on a stickied topic.

Note that if we succeed in making this FluxBB plugin, we will not be using it right away. Instead we will test it on a spare installation of FluxBB to test that it works to perfection, and then re-discuss if PMs are a safe addition for this website.

At the moment, we want a PM plugin that works like any other PM plugin, except in the important point that all PMs must be visible to admins and mods (configurable using plugin settings panel), and PMs must be able to be reported like any regular post for extra emphasis for mods to view them.

the pms admins/mods should not be able to see unless they are reported

Then any two members could carry out inappropriate conversations. I cannot allow PMs, unless they are 100% moderated.

there is already a pming system that dose that - we can't  look at every single pm if both users are ok with it then its not to bad

There are no PM plugins I know of that does that. We can look at most PMs, if not all - we have a large moderation team after all. That's not true, if both users are doing it, both users are worthy of a ban.

its not a PM if we can see it.

Quote from: Tai-Guyits not a PM if we can see it.

A PM system could be disastrous if it wasn't moderated.

I got an email about this. I once did this, but I do not have the code on me right now. I could program it again, but I do not know of any easy way that doesn't involve making all PM conversations available to admins.

it should  be available to admins only if reported

what about admins can see all and mods can see reported.

It's easier than you think.
if ($is_admmod) {
  if ($pun_user["gid"] == PUN_ADMIN) {
    // Admin
  }
  else {
    // Mod
  }
}


Wut he said

I was totes gonna post that

A few years l8er

the other problem is that if mod/admins play a multiplayer game involving  pming if they can see everyone pms that can mess up the game a lot

What PMing TBGs would there be...

"Guess what I told 360!"
Where you send a PM to 360, and the next person has to guess what you said.

Or games that involve some sort of password that only certain users know and they're trying to get their team to guess what it is by giving certain clues. (Like Taboo, only different.)

If I must say this again: All PMs must be visible to admins and/or mods (configurable), or PMs cannot be added.

Not all PMs would be read by mods, but rather on a random basis, so that any inappropriate messagers would be caught and banned.

i think 360 and MBA agree to it only being visible if reported - admin majority
