I am running XenForo 2.1 as an unofficial forum for my airlines pilots and flight attendants. Access is only for active employees. Since we have a certain amount of fluctuation I get notifications of employees termination if they have done so, generally with some time in advance. Currently I...

Yet it is the case on my installation......

That’s exactly what I have been doing, as written above.... my request stands nevertheless.

I am quite aware of the add-on on xenDACH, but first of all it is not available for XF2 and second I prefer not to run any add ons if there could be an in-house solution as simple as this. My times as a programmer are long past and I have virtually zero experience using php, but I am quite aware...

As per german law I am required to provide an imprint, meaning I am legally obligated to provide data on who operates the website and how people can reach me. This has to be available (according to some smart judge) with a maximum of two clicks from everywhere on the website. Since there is...

Just to give you guys some idea about GDPR not being a joke: At least in Germany the topic has evolved exactly as predicted. The first warning letters are being sent out by lawyers, with quite hefty fines in some areas. Currently the top one I have read of (where I could find details) was...

Thanks for both your advices, as they provide me with confirmation of the idea, both about the feasibility and the issues with it. The trust does not extend that far. Basically on registration they must choose a custom user field that ist currently only used to display their function in the...

I got a question regarding the concept of sorting user into groups via promotions. To give you a little background, I am running an inofficial forum for the crew of a regional airline in Germany. We have a section that is universally for everyone and we have sections that are only to be viewed...

I like that idea!!!

Which is excatly the law that will make happen what you just quoted from me and implied that it will lift all this. But I am out of this discussion now, as it leads nowhere.

It is your prerogative to think that, however they did implement this. Most certainly not only for their customer from Germany, but for a bunch of other people as well. I can not speak for the team of XenForo limited, but they have implemented features that help comply with this new law and I...

Well, let me take on that by the paragraphs. That is exactly what I am saying. The legal construct is actually like this: They find a violation of the law and send you a warning letter "Strafbewehrte Abmahnung". I am not quite certain how to translate the first word properly, literally it...

Just to give you an idea about why germans worry: in Germany there is a legal practice of issuing warning letters by lawyers and they can charge you an arm and a leg for it. Now the problem is: even if they have nothing to do with you (they are a lawyer and you are running a forum on fishing...

Which again brings up its own problems, but that is actually not a bad idea I might add. Prevents all the trouble of setting extra permissions for admins and mods when using the option with the private nodes. Edit: I must say that I have now gone with your approach. That has yet been the...

@Martok I do appreciate your input, even though I certainly do not agree with it 100%. I have just mapped out the number of permissions I have to set the way you are suggesting and counted the number of permissions I have currently set. Turns out, that at least in my case the approach with...
