XF 1.0 Moderation Tools

Every forum system needs a good collection of tools to allow moderators to keep the board running smoothly.

With XenForo, we have looked at how this has been done in the past and come up with some new concepts and standards to make the job easier, such as the placement of the inline moderation checkbox right by thread titles, an inline editor for threads and a control panel that follows you around.

Depends on the forum of course, but it's just a simple template edit to put whatever buttons you like there.

You're just far too clever sometimes Excellent to know!

 

[Brandon_R]

Very nice i have to say.

 

[Sejper]

Very nice moderation system

 

[Kerry-Anne]

excellent moderation system. makes a lot of sense to me to have it so straight forward and the most used things so close to hand when you need them.

No wonder this is such a breath of fresh air; we're living outside the box!

 

[Cezz]

I am a little late with this one but WOW...

 

[Walter]

(that said, I quite like the idea of having 'move' there too)

Yes, please!

 

[Cupara]

Kier, this is great. I can't wait for this to hit the shelves. This kind of moderation tool is what forums need. Makes things so much easier to manage.

 

[James]

In the video it says "The thread, started by {username} has been deleted". You're missing a comma after {username} - subordinate clause and all

Now pedant mode is off, I LOVE this inline moderation!

 

[Caliburn]

Oh, I like this. Very nice work.

 

[Stuart Wright]

Kier I noticed that the down arrow takes you to the next post checkbox, but the up arrow takes you to the top of the previous post.

How do you note the reason for deletion?

Will there be any way for moderators to keep track of what posts/threads have been reviewed and what content is not checked by staff? This would be particularly useful for large boards or boards with a lot of staff. Because it would safe moderators from looking at the same content twice or missing other content.

 

[Enigma]

Thanks for the video!

 

[Darat]

Will you be able to see a history of moderation actions on a thread or post?

 

[Trent Gillespie]

And this is why XenForo has a good chance to be a successful operation and viable discussion board solution. I am all about UI speed and easy-of-use and it's apparent that Kier and Mike have made this a priority.

 

[JulianD]

Very nice moderation controls! Thank you!

 

[Floris]

Excellent video and the moderation tools look awesome

Just kinda missing "these 5 selected spam threads > process as spam"

 

[Sador]

Sweet.

There are many forums/sites that moderate the first few posts everyone makes, and the delete is used quite often.

I think the way you have it now is perfect, everything else is 1 mouse click away from the drop down box, at least that is what it looks like.
