Hello,
Right now the Moderators and Super Moderators permissions in the forums are totally uncontrollable, we can't disallow them from deleting threads / sticking/unsticking/Opening/Closing/Moving threads...
For example, one mod on my forums has told me that his password was very weak, I asked him to change it and he said that he did, though I'm not really sure if he did, I can't control that...
So I was like "Okay, if anyone hacks any super mod's account, they will be able to delete ALL the threads", and since I'm doing what many webmasters do, I don't take hourly backups of my database (I'm running my own server, no cPanel);..
So I'm just asking if it could be possible to limit the mods/super mods permissions,
You can't create another additional usergroup and give them limited permissions, because right now, MyBB does the following:
Is that user a moderator??
- Yes: OK, all the permissions to the forums they moderate
- No: No permissions
Is that user a super mod?
- Yes: OK, all the permissions everywhere (except forums they can't access)
- No: No permissions
I suggest you add to Users & Groups, Groups, Mods/Super Mods, Forums and posts:
[These settings only apply to the forums moderated by this user]
[checkbox] Can delete others' threads
[checkbox] Can move others' threads
[checkbox] Can edit others' threads
[checkbox] Can merge others' threads
[checkbox] Can approve/unapprove others' threads
[checkbox] Can open/close others' threads
