For some reason I assumed the new search engine would use some clever database structure tricks to work around MySQL limitations, but would still be based on MySQL, so the fact that it's using ElasticSearch (Lucene and java powered) is a big surprise to me. I'm wondering if a relative ease of...

Unfortunately editing each offensive post manually or engaging in a lengthy PM exchanges just plain doesn't scale for a forum with ~10k posts per day. Offloading the editing work on the members themselves is the main rationale behind the idea I'm lobbying for.

So the authors of the warned and soft-deleted posts have no way to redeem themselves. Whereas if their posts were hidden from other members under a placeholder but still editable, it would be possible.

Points are also set to expire at our forum. It's orthogonal to the proposed feature. Since your members effectively can't edit their posts, they wouldn't have a chance to remove the associated warnings. And that's what you want. Problem solved? Also, what do your moderators do about posts with...

Yes, though it's not me or any human who's doing that, the system removes the warning points automatically.

I see that the attachments take a relatively long time to convert. Assuming the same performance as your process showed, and that it wouldn't degrade with the number of records, it would take ~100 hours to convert our ~4 million attachments. Hmm.

I guess my post was really tl;dr. I specifically mention that the warned post edit should add a note with the new post content to the thread created on the initial warning so that the mods could immediately see if the objectionable content is gone. I also mention the ability for the mods to...

In other words, if the reports were simply threads, that would automagically solve many of the problems above: - the reports will be searchable - the new comments from the mods (and new reports) would bump the report thread on top, bringing it to attention - the alerts and notifications would...

XenForo is shaping up nicely. A warning system is an absolutely essential part of the mod workflow for the large forums. I'd like to second the ability to create a thread on each warning in the designated forum, with warned post content quoted. Otherwise it's hard to keep the track of the...

Now that Xenforo is out, can anyone comment if it is indeed able to handle the large number of forums well?

А, торможу...

Eh, everything is in the DB again?... would it be possible to move templates to the file system? It would surely make the style development a whole lot easier.

Yes, my bad. I have an extension installed that is responsible for handling line breaks in the tooltips. Nevertheless, I still like browser tooltips more than the fancy popups :)

I can't say for all browsers, but I'm sure the major ones have fixed their "title" implementation. Maybe lynx still has a problem displaying them, I just don't know.
