Hello,

I just upgraded from 6.4.1 and have a couple questions I cant find the answers to.

1)Does this new version come stock with "Private moderation" I cant find it anywhere. If not is there an add on for it yet?

2) I have many members asking if the forums font can be made or set larger. The style sheets we used to use had a couple options for this but I don't see any in the style sheet options that come stock or the add on's.

3) Deleting someone post? When I go in an delete someone post the whole thing doesn't go away like it used to with past threads. Now the post stays and just says " post deleted by Admin" Whats up with that? is there a way to get it to delete the whole post like it never happened?

1. What is Private Moderation?
2. You can edit the "text-size" properties in the style editor to change the size of the text shown.
3. I believe this is done so that child posts aren't abandoned; I believe 7.1 re-assigns child posts.

1) private moderation was a hack in past threads. I see on DEV it hasn't been updated. I can live with that.


2) Still cant find it but looking hard.

3) Does that mean there is nothing I can do, the posts stays and just gets to say "edited by admin"?

I got this lady that was playing with stuff on a thread and has 7 dumb test posts in a row. Looks dumb.would be nice to deleate 6 of them anyway.


thank you for your time.

What did Private Moderation do?

The size varies, it's in several elements so there are several areas in each style to update it.

Try deleting a child post before a parent, and see if it does anything... I've had the same type of complaints which ended up leading to the change in 7.1

1)when you put a user in private moderation it disabled their ability to use pm's and all there posts had to be approved by a moderator before they would show up to the world. It was a nice little "time out" tool. Looks like the mod ended with 6.5

2) still playing around

3) Yes the total post can be deleted if its the last post on a thread. But if someone has posted after the one you want to totally delete you cant totally delate the middle post without deleting the ones after that you don't want to delete first. That's dumb, and not very admin/mod friendly. There has to be a better way. On a busy board that's just crazy.

maybe that was a "remove all traces" mod in the past. I will have to go look.

That mod sounds kinda cool; so like moderated forums only on a user by user basis... i like it... It's like being grounded lol...

7.1 public beta should be out within a couple of weeks, i think you'd be a perfect candidate to test out some things (such as your #3)

Both of those were great to have. Would be nice to have stock in future products.

The delete post issue is nuts. Guess we will upgrade soon as it sounds like 7.1 will fix that..


the private moderation, kept people on task, and behaved because they knew "private moderation" was our tool before baning.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Don't have the link but #3 has been discussed here before and Rick said he would be working on a method to allow that in an upcoming release.

I'd think that Post Moderation could be a great feature in a "Strike System"; 3 strikes and you're on post moderation, 3 more strikes and you're banned for a set period of time... could be fun

No thanks. Don't care to have users like that.
