Here is what we do in case it's of help. Prior to a full ban, we place the user into a secondary UserGroup (we call it "Suspended" - your choice of title). We do that typically by issuing a Warning with an associated action to add the UserGroup. It can, of course, also be added in the...

Just a comment for your consideration - not a solution: Removing posts mid-thread can make the residue harder to follow and read by those who still have access. Removing entire threads (i.e. started by the exiting member) will remove all the responses - including some that others may still find...

There is an add-on to change post author. But as a "fudge" workround you can: find an existing post by B that is timestamped earlier than the A original (only works if one exists) copy that post to a new thread merge the two threads (original A, new B) such that the new B thread is the...

A tiny proportion of members who are difficut to deal with - as in, they tread a very fine line between being clearly and justifiably ban-worthy and being serial miscreants without ever quite crossing that line. Oh, and the Moderator permissions setup in XenForo, which was, and remains, badly...

I suppose, to be fair to new users, the word "No" has a specific meaning which isn't accurate in this context. "Not set" or "Inherit" or another passive term might be more "intuitive". As with most things, once you have actually RT(F)M and tried it out a few times, it does become like riding...

Whilst there is already an add-on for User Notes on a profile, I'd agree that such a feature for a THREAD alongside would hugely improve moderator productivity. As it is, all we have is tools that distance the comments from the thread itself - such as either Posts in a Private forum or a group...

If I understand your "point" correctly - not necessarily. The action that follows accrual of points to a threshold can be set at EITHER ...while at or above threshold OR ...for a fixed term. If it's a fixed term (as per my example above) then whatever happens to the points while the action is...

@interforo Once you have "banned" someone, then surely that can't, by definition, accrue any further points, since they can't actually do anything. webbouk's suggestion to restrict them with a secondary usergroup (rather than an outright ban) has a great deal of merit. But I'd suggest that...

In fact just to clarify - the above trace was for a merge of the quoted account into another; not a simple delete per se. The screenshot below refers to a different case altogether; that was a delete. I don't recall seeing the recalculation text in the earlier merge; it certainly didn't hang...

Here is what we do: 1: We make a clear distinction between truly banned accounts (i.e. those who we never want to be able to do anything at all) and those for whom we wish to allow, for example, to make an appeal. 2: We only actually BAN those for whom we intend the action to be total. 3: For...

Have you tried Crtl/+ in your browser? Or Ctrl/Scroll Wheel (if you have one)? (Windows use; I guess iOS is similar).

Just a diagonal point here, though: IF your forum also sends an Email to the message recipient which contains the message text, then nothing you do on the forum to amend the message will affect such an Email.

I, too, would be interested in confirmation (or otherwise) of this.

Forgive me - but it was my understanding that it is accounts marked as "Staff Members" who can't be ignored; not Moderators as such.

One approach is to replace the profanity with something that makes it look funny and stupid whilst keeping the context alive. The F word (TFW to save typing here) is a multipurpose word, so for example the exclamation TFW off you TFWing TFW would - if you replaced it with Fudge - become Fudge...
