Development Discussion Board

The post edits system would probably be Staff and Poster only viewable.

I agree with evil. Its good idea but MODs and hacks and code snippets use the ?> to use in the FIND in MODs

A useful log I have always thought would be useful would be a log of who logged on at what time, when they logged off and the IP.

Off course some people have more or less dB size for this and there should be a an on/off button and max amount of space field this bit on the db can use up.

This would be a good feature but there should be an on/off switch, a field saying maximum disk space for old posts, leave blank for unlimited (so it limit how much db space it would use and prune old ones), a button to prune from before a selected date or prune all. I would not limit the db space t...

Sorry for the off-topic note but perhaps phpBB should put this feature into their bug tracker?

How would you handle permissions for this? Afterall a moderator might not be allowed to delete posts in all forums the spammer can post to. Should only global moderators have this option?

Like a delete but it won't actually delete. Just hide from public.

If you want to know what I mean have a look at a vB trial.

Maybe this is something for phpBB 4 but I think it would also work in 3.1 Like the feature in vB where you can un-approve posts. Basiclly, its doesn't delete it and it just hides it from all but people with Moderator permissions. Sort of like the Soft Delete MOD only better as the post is still ther...

Maybe make it so it will only work for people with global Mod Permissions and it is also its own permission, so non-global mod's can't use it, yet not all global mod's can use it. Also, this would fit into a topic here: http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=32640 And instead of dele...
