Hey guys,

1- I can't seem to find the option that forbids a certain group from assigning custom titles.

Being pointed in the right direction would be very appreciated, thanks.


2- One of the group permissions is; "Yes, users of this group are super moderators" - what powers does a super moderator have? If someone is a supermoderator, do they automatically have access to the MOD CP? Then what is the difference between the MOD CP and being a super moderator?
its not easily possible ... requires a plugin ; not sure that such plugin exists
LifePunch, for your first request...

go to ACP >> Users & Groups >> THE GROUP YOU DONT WANT TO ALLOW CUSTOM USER TITLES >> Users & Permissions and untick Can use custom user titles?

And as far as i am aware, super mods are just moderators across all forums. Could someone confirm?
we can say that a moderator has limited privileges & a super moderator has powerful privileges !!

Unfortunately unticking "Can use custom user titles" doesn't help because my moderators can still access the MOD CP and change people's title there. I want my moderators to be able to access MOD CP so they can moderate the forums, but not change titles.
^ that option may be removed manually from MOD CP ...

admin panel --> templates --> current theme's templates --> Moderator Control Panel Templates -->
modcp_editprofile <-- find AND remove code similar to below

<tr>
											<td><span class="smalltext">{$lang->new_custom_usertitle}</span></td>
										</tr>
										<tr>
											<td><input type="text" class="textbox" name="usertitle" size="25" maxlength="{$mybb->settings['customtitlemaxlength']}" value="{$newtitle}" /></td>
										</tr>
You are asking a slightly different question than in your OP?

You want Moderators to be able to change their own user titles, but not change anyone elses?

I don't want anyone to be able to change any titles at all except the group "Owner" which only has me in it.

Thanks, that worked!
