Have had a lot of requests lately for a "report post" button, which would be incredibly simple to implement since all the info needed is already generated.

So here is what I wonder, having never used one would you want it to send a PM, an e-mail or both?

Input please- :)

In the case of multiple Admins and Moderators would it report to all, or just one.

Would you be able to switch it on and off in the Admin panel.

Would you be able to configure which of the Admins and Mods got the notification.

I would prefer PM contact

I would like an email sent to Admin and/or mods....

Just food for thought, a forum software that I have some experience with will create a topic in a forum dedicated to moderators

like this:

Reported Post by (whoever the user is that reported)

{the users name}  has reported a post.

Reason: Quote: The message as to why it was reported goes here

Post: the name of the thread
Forum: The name of the forum


Posted by: The user being reported
Original Content: Quote: The post in its entirety would be here


This is especially nice on larger boards with multiple moderators, because with this thread created in the moderators forum, it can be discussed if need be.

1. All of them. Why how many mods do you have per forum? You would need more than one? And not the admin unless they were a moderator of that particular forum.

2. Yes, like a light bulb. Four radio buttons, send e-mail, send PM, send both, send none. Upon send none the button would not appear.

3. Never thought of that but since evidently there can be a zillion moderators of one forum perhaps. Still don't understand why :)

Person reporting would be listed to the moderator, person being reported would not know.

Sleeping will not be an option until it is done. Not.

Anyhow interesting how complicated it could get! I was thinking just sending the mod a link to the post. Now I feel cheap and insufficient. Eric I'll need to see you in my office after work.

We can all probably easily work with this mod regardless of how you create it Jim. I was going to ask for this before the 1.7 upgrade, but it was too late when I thought of it.

:):) LIke I said food for thought. The above is a vBuliten standard.

My personal forum a simple email would be fine....But on bigger boards with multiple mods and lots of drama.....the thread works great.

Good idea.

I dont mind via pm, email or both  for the alert and agree its good to know who is reporting the post so you can check to make sure there is no bias/agenda there.

Is there a "report" button? What ever came of this. I would probably like to add one if it is possible.
Please advise. Thanks!

Already working as a mod on 3 boards. I plan on putting it in the next version. Problem currently is it only sends to one person. I can make it send to the moderator also BUT if there are multiple moderators then.... I just need to work on the controls.

PM or email is fine with me...

I wouldnt care if it sent to the mods or not. I can always move it to the archived forum where it could be discussed, if needed. :)
