Ahhh, now that does make sense.

Thank you for clarifying what the problem was, I know see why handing out sub-forum mod powers is a no-no at this time. Have the boys over at Phpbb-City got back to you or acknowledged your question to them yet?

@Yeti: Yes yes, "No Yuo!!!" I've heard it all before. Please quit the petty aspersion casting, it's really not helping anybody. I'm not here to have some childish back-and-forth with you, I'm here to sensibly discuss the proposal that this thread is all about. If you insist on flaming then take it to FW, otherwise simmer down.

Unfortunately not at the moment. I checked and there is no current mod available or in development, but I submitted a mod request. But this mod request has yet to be answered by anyone of course.

Concise description:

The leaders of User Groups and Clans should have all the moderation powers of normal Mods, but only within their hidden forum.

Specifics:

They should be able to sticky threads, unsticky threads, merge threads, delete polls, edit posts, delete posts...ect.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

It will help User Group and Clan Forums be able to have more freedom and become more organized.

This would be great! Mods of each clan could then "clean up old posts and stickies and deal with there members likes and dislikes within the user group much more efficiently. This has been a topic for some time in xiGAMES.

yes......I agree with my XI brother....I'm currently trying to clean up our forum a bit, and it's frustrating not being able to get the originator to "unsticky" old/unrequired posts...this change would make life much simpler.

This has been a request for a long time, I know that, but from what I've heard the php workarounds required to make it work nicely are rather ugly and clunky.

So that mean it won't be happening?

To get this, we need some a forum MOD. I put in a request for a specific MOD at phpBB's forum, but it didn't draw any interest. I'll see and try again.

Andy, maybe put a link to it here so we can go there and show our support. I think it is really needed.

Specifics:

I'm sure that this has been brought up before, but I really think that it should be considered, seeing as it would greatly improve the site for people in clans with extremely active forums.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:

This has been previously suggested here.

The only reason this hasn't been implemented yet is a MOD is required to add a permission for the viewing of logs, the request for the MOD can be found here

Spr_Dave · Post by **Spr_Dave** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 11:24 pm

I think this is a great idea, anything ever come of it?

cpurcell · Post by **cpurcell** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 8:06 am

I definitely support this, and so should all members of any clan! It is extremely frustrating to have to leave the old posts just sit there and clog up the forum

I don't really understand that, but what if we don't have a phpBB account?

Does this mod have the ability to put sub-forums in our clan forum?

If a MOD author writes the MOD, then lack will install it here (at least he had planned to previously), and you'll be able to MOD in your clan forum normally, and just not see the logs.

I am nearly 100% certain the ability already exists, just not in the exact fashion that Lack or Twill wants it to, and that is why we don't have powers in our usergroups. It isn't necessarily that a MOD needs to be written.

It is, in fact, necessary that a MOD be written, there is no way to give someone moderator permissions without giving them permissions to view the moderator logs, unless logs are disabled for all moderators.
