How can one control moderator permissions?
For example - disabling the ability to delete posts permanently or disabling the ability to view IP's?
Thank in advance

Interesting - but it doesn't quite seem to be what I need...
First of all, it seems to only effect forum-specific moderators and not super moderators.
Second, it doesn't appear to have an option for disallowing the permanent delete of posts.
Does MyBB not have any permissions in place for this type of thing?

I had already asked for a Moderator Permissions but has been refused.
MyBB staffs don't want this concept to be integrated in MyBB. They say that we should trust our moderators.

As for the Global Moderator issue, I'm not sure what you can do.
Thanks

I'll add this to my list of numerous features that MyBB requires me to mod for that SHOULD be included in the core.
The whole point of super moderators is that they have all permissions in all forums, that's their purpose. They wouldn't be 'super' moderators if they didn't have all powers. If you don't want them to have all powers, don't make them a super mod.

You say that like it's an unusual thing to suggest...

This issue will be partly in MyBB 1.6 can add usergroups as moderators and therefore limit their powers.

It's not even that.
I don't want ANY of my staff deleting posts (not even admins) - I'd prefer use unapprove/approve. With that said, why even leave the delete as an option for the staff? It's just leaving them room for error or mistake - all because MyBB lacks the permissions to disable such features.
Don't get me wrong - MyBB is great. But, things like Moderator Permissions and logic flow control in the templating system should be included in the core.
Just delete the contents of the postbit_quickdelete template or remove {$post['button_quickdelete']} from postbit and postbit_classic then. I can't remember anyone else saying they don't want even admins to be allowed to delete posts, we can't add or change something every time a handful of people don't like the way something's done, that's not feasible. How can you make a mistake deleting something when there is a confirmation box when deleting?? You wouldn't be concentrating very much if you accidentally pressed the delete button and accidentally confirmed it too.
