i think the greatest would be if the moderator could move people into a pre-defined usergroup.I needed a way for my moderators to ban users, or rather, give them a "timeout". I implemented this so my moderators can quickly do a 24h ban to a user.
Moderators can't currently ban or edit members in XF? Strange. That feature is essential for most forums, should have been in 1.0.0.
If you trust your moderators enough to let them ban or edit users, make them administrators and allow them to manage users.Moderators can't currently ban or edit members in XF? Strange. That feature is essential for most forums, should have been in 1.0.0.

Sure, if you trust them. And if you do trust them but don't want to run that risk? I want them to be able to ban users, not the access the admincp. Granted, there are some of them I would not care giving access, this is not extensible to all my moderators or the new ones. Also, some of us are more careful than the rest and have their admincp htpasswd protected and nobody should go near that, ever.If you trust your moderators enough to let them ban or edit users, make them administrators and allow them to manage users.
Yes.Has this even been reported as a bug?
Thanks for that tip. It's not really about trust though, I've just decided not to have other admins and also to keep the ACP well locked and secure for anyone else but me. You never know if their PC is going to get hacked.If you trust your moderators enough to let them ban or edit users, make them administrators and allow them to manage users.
And how much more admin functionality do they have access to then?

What is all this talk about they "only" have access to the Rebuild Cache option? That is not an only, that is a "huge" only. Rebuild search index is there. That is so server intensive that someone can reduce my site to a crawl just by playing with it. Might as well be "only" the option to turn the forum off. Has this even been reported as a bug?
So .. yeah, the current solution from XenForo is not enough not appropriate for my use case.

For a large board, you would not want rebuild search indexes run accidentally as it may cause server load problems.
Even if it wasn't dangerous I would prefer my admins to see only the parts I choose.
I still believe this is definitely a bug. If I only choose "Manage Bans" when adding an admin. I expect it to allow only managing bans. I don't want them to rebuild caches.
