Warning Improvements by Xon 1.7.2

[Xon]

Any thoughts on extending the new "Anonymize As" feature to sending the conversation (if applicable)?

That one requires a lot of logistics work for enabling access to the inbox/conversations of the user you are sending as.

It is something I've been thinking about, but haven't gotten the time todo due to all the new shinies.

I'd like to see anonymous PMs as well. Would save our team a lot of hassle. We don't need access to a 'user' just a generic name it can be sent from that the user can't even reply to.

We created an account specifically for the anonymous Warning Alerts and just shut down access to its profile and whatnot. We'd use the same one for anonymous Warning Conversations and simply disable replying.

@Xon is there a way to disable Send alert on warning being checked by default?

@Joe Link there is now

Have just upgraded to 1.3.1.
I've got my "start conversation" defaulted to off, and did a test warning without changing the "Start Conversation" option (i.e. it was unticked) and a conversation was started with the warned user.

Awesome, thanks man!

One other recommendation (do you hate me yet? ).

Say you have both notes and conversations required, but you don't have a default conversation configured in the warning (because you want your moderators to write personalized notes themselves). They leave notes field blank by accident, type out a long, personalized conversation in the conversation box, and click the warn member button. The moderator receives the error that the required notes field is empty, click back, and his or her conversation is gone. What would it take to add a requirement check for each tab, notifying the moderator the field is empty and requiring it be filled before proceeding onto the next tab?

By the way, this add-on is mature enough that I think you ought to charge for it

Yeah, adding something to prevent this makes sense. I'll look into that

Missing phrase for this error @Xon?



When you set a non-existent user as the "Anonymise As" selection.

Feature Requests

• Allow staff members to require a user acknowledge a warning before continuing to use the site.
  • This feature would work like IP.Board and Facebook, a user would need to click a checkbox acknowledging the warning before continuing to use the site once warned. A warning type can be set to require acknowledgment, or a staff member can set it.
  • Allow a "message to user" which is not a PM, but appears in warning alerts and acknowledgment screen.

Example from IP.Board

@Shiro that sounds like a great feature, I'll add it to the TODO list.

Wow! Thanks @Xon!

@Xon what is the post a public warning option? What does a public warning look like? Also, could users view the warning issuer without this add-on installed?

The public warning option is the standard xenforo warning bar that is added to a post. All this add-on does with it, is copy the warning title into it.
