Have they actually done any action that is recorded in the log? The list isn't populated by user group or permission etc., it's populated by who did what.

This, maybe.

All depends on the circumstances. Warn, ban, spamclean, remove conversation permission from user (either individually, or preferably by adding a secondary usergroup), do nothing. etc. UserNotes where applicable.

In this circumstance, I'd FIRST edit the message in situ (I have that ability) to read something like "Redacted by Forum Admininstrator". Then, I'd release it to clear it from the Q.

Sorry - that's a stock photo; I don't think I have a pic of my actual bike. This is one of two in fact. I prefer flat bars vs drops. And I have a passionate hatred of derailleurs. So this has a central gearbox in the bottom bracket and a Gates belt drive. Oh....and it's electric.

This will depend on how you moderate your board. We proactively check everything that is posted. As we have quite a large team of Moderators some of whom share responsibility for (a) given forum(s), we don't want them to be repeating each others' work. We use an add-on "Moderator...

I should have been clearer. It's the situation where you have several Moderators, and several nodes, and some (or all) Moderators do NOT oversee all the nodes; each has their own "patch" which is only part of the whole. That is what is not readily set up.

Sadly lacking in XF's permissions setup and the subject of a long-outstanding change request I made. You can't allocate specific Moderator permissions for a given node by UserGroup; only at an individual node<>user level. The node can be a category (with no posts of its own) or a parent node...

The right way to go about this (or many other similar conditional permissions) is by use of secondary usergroups as PaulB says. No addons needed. All users by default do not have this permission. The permission is granted by membership of a secondary UserGroup. You "promote" users into this...

AdminCP. Logs > Spam Cleaner Log . Find required user, hit "restore". (Does not remove entry from StopForumSpam, etc., if you made one. That has to be done by correspondence). For future ref, you can, I believe, set a limit on the number of posts a user has which, if exceeded, disables the...

I'll categorise users thus: obvious bans - spammers, crooks, serial miscreants and so on. At the point of banning, that decision is all but final. We don't normally delete such accounts so in reality they could be restored, but that is rare. less obvious cases. Define these as you will. In...

Automated outbound diallers just dial any number they want, known or not. If they get an answer, it's routed to either an IVR responder or a human.

Bear in mind: if your forum sends out Email alerts to conversation participants containing message text, then there is absolutely nothing you can do to redact that from the inboxes of the recipients.

They can, of course, work around it in a somewhat clunky way. I guess the need to buy a custom development would depend on how frequently this happens. e.g. In this post @christisking said and I can suggest a workround. and I can suggest a workround.

I suppose the difficulty is deciding what is a duplicate account and what is not. Two separate people might use the same IP use the same computer and browser have the same street address and so on, and yet still be legitimately different; friends; husband and wife, etc. Which is why it can...
