[Forum] Usergroup Leader Powers

[AndyDufresne]

To get this, we need some a forum MOD. I put in a request for a specific MOD at phpBB's forum, but it didn't draw any interest. I'll see and try again.

Andy, maybe put a link to it here so we can go there and show our support. I think it is really needed.

Clan Leaders would have moderator privileges in their own private clan forums, and be able to delete threads.

Specifics:

I'm sure that this has been brought up before, but I really think that it should be considered, seeing as it would greatly improve the site for people in clans with extremely active forums.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

This will improve the site because it will enable clan leaders to keep their forums clean, and enable them to (hopefully ) remove old posts from the forum so as to decrease the clutter.

This has been previously suggested here.

The only reason this hasn't been implemented yet is a MOD is required to add a permission for the viewing of logs, the request for the MOD can be found here

I think this is a great idea, anything ever come of it?

[cpurcell]

I definitely support this, and so should all members of any clan! It is extremely frustrating to have to leave the old posts just sit there and clog up the forum

I don't really understand that, but what if we don't have a phpBB account?

Does this mod have the ability to put sub-forums in our clan forum?

If a MOD author writes the MOD, then lack will install it here (at least he had planned to previously), and you'll be able to MOD in your clan forum normally, and just not see the logs.

I am nearly 100% certain the ability already exists, just not in the exact fashion that Lack or Twill wants it to, and that is why we don't have powers in our usergroups. It isn't necessarily that a MOD needs to be written.

It is, in fact, necessary that a MOD be written, there is no way to give someone moderator permissions without giving them permissions to view the moderator logs, unless logs are disabled for all moderators.
