Nice little function Dayve. Just tried it out when logged in as an admin (for example) and then logged out of the forum, I hit the reply button with quote and it showed the hidden text. Is there more to your function or is it only the function and the call and the line at about 565 of your inc_func_common.asp? Just could be embarrasing if I was to write something about another person and they seen it..   |
Cheers,
David Greening |

That is all very cool :)
However, I would still love a mod to do exactly what I mentioned in the first post. The Troll thinks they are posting, but everyone else sees nothing... I have found from experience that these people tend to go VERY quickly if they are being ignored.

I call the function within the FormatStr() function:

I swear by this mod:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=39014
I have enhanced it so that I can control the number of posts a member much reach before he/she is off of moderation. This feature prevents posts from being seen until a moderator approves it. It is great for those new people that are spammers or have been banned and try to come back with a new account because the new account will automatically put them in moderation mode. Ever since I have used this mod I have never found the need for IP banning. It is one of the best features I have ever implemented within my forum and recommend it every opportunity that I can. It will accomplish what you're trying to do with your troll because his/her posts will never be seen unless one of your moderators approves it, but that should be discussed with your moderators anyway. If you do implement this feature and want to know how to take it to the next level by changing a members moderation level by post count let me know. I have found that I've had to put long time members with thousands of posts back on moderation and the changes I made in conjunction with the mod I am recommending did the trick nicely. Sample screenshot of how I control this:

Davye, that does indeed look excellent. I may give that a go.
You see, the thing with our forum is that we are a very "open" group. Everyone knows everyone by name... trolls are spotted very quickly. In fact, in 5 or so years, we have only had one or two trouble makers. We have never had moderation requirement on the forum.
This is the reason that we simply want to add someone to a list and have their posts made invisible to others. |

I would tell you to implement the original mod first that I posted the link to and then I can show you the additional edits I made. I am at a software conference right now away from my home server which has the code so when I return next week, I will see if you have the mod installed and then post the changes I made to make it even better. |

On my forum I turned the delete into a double-tap option. The first delete sets the status level to 99 which removes it from view of all but admins and moderators and turs the background of the post red. Deleteing a level 99 will delete it completely, but I rarely do so.
I also implemented a muted member option by member ID and IP that only show the muted members posts to each other and mods/admins. They are flagged with *muted* so we can tell which posts are. I made it so that every muted member can see all the other muted posts, so they end up having little conversations with each other that no one else can see. It's quite amusing sometimes.
Deleting, banning and blocking are only effective half the time I've found. It's much easier to just mute offenders and let them tire of being ignored and leave on their own accord. |

gary, would it be hard for you to rip that code out and share it? Sounds like a wonderful setup =)

| I wouldn't know where to start and mine is so far from a stock implementation, it would be easier from scratch. Just throwing out ideas. |

| Gary, I am desperate. We have a troll that simply will not go away and it logging on from various ISP's. At this stage, I would even offer to pay you to provide this feature. |
