1Gb for each user is a bit massive !

I don't think everyone would want that, so it would have to be a mod too.

Well.. you know what i mean, i used 1gb as a random number..

even 50mb would probably be enough

Maybe a mod thing which is a 'typo fixer' , where every user who is registered has the ability to edit anybodys texts, but if they aren't moderator / admin then the OP or admin or wahtever has to agree to it first.

Will help alot for if people dont use

Code: Select all

 tags and such, as that was for example. I could edit the message and all you need to do is accept it, or the OP to accept it (it could be a little warning bar at top of the topic page for the OP) if they have a fix that needs authorizing :)

About that. Would it be possible to have the software automatically recognize code in a forum post and add the correct syntax tags around the block of code by itself? Would be awesome if it was possible.

could make it difficult to detect where one page ends and another begins.
Especially since some people dont use ?> so you cannot just check for the opening - closing tags.

Then we have problems like HTML, there are different ways to start HTML, technically you can go straight into <body>, although it is recommended (and you should) use doctype, html and then head body etc..

The point being; there are too many options for it to be plausible i think.
I think having the ability to edit anybodys texts is much easier.

Yeah, maybe.

It was just a silly idea really. But if it was possible it would be the best forum-mod ever made

True, you can match what looks like XML and highlight that as xml pretty easily, but what if people don't want it highlighted

[ ] Disable Automatic highlighter ?
( It's a checkbox if you can't tell

)

Or you could make a new user group, "Trusted" or something like that, and they would have the ability to edit everyones post but still not being a moderator so they can't delete posts or lock topics and such.

That sounds like a fairly good idea actually.

Yeah that is an option

I will see how hard it would be to detect code.

So more than one level of moderator basically, could do that pretty easily as admin can set what all the groups can do. It could be linked to rep too, how they have it on Stack Overflow I think, so as you get more rep++ you become able to do more. First could be adding to posts (ie adding code tags, but not being able to remove stuff form the post) then when you get more rep you can edit properly and I guess work all the way up to being a admin

phpBB basically fails when it comes to admin and moderator features so that’s something I want to get right.

One of those?

Using rep would be a very good idea. As long as people don't team up/abuse to give each other a bunch of rep until they can delete everything on the forum

I wouldn't go as far as getting to admin just because of high rep. Rep is easily exploitable ( pay users or w/e to rep you ) but I do like the idea of you getting more and more privileges the more you help people.

I guess that will take a bit of thinking about

Posted: **Tue Jun 07, 2011 3:06 pm**

I guess it still would be pretty easy to detect people abusing it, if you have a little thing at the bottom of the index page saying, "Users with most rep: Bla(10), Bla (5), Blabla(2), Blablablabla(1)", and if someone is rapidly increasing in rep just check their posts and use the Banhammer on them

Posted: **Tue Jun 07, 2011 3:11 pm**

I think the best way to do this would be that rep takes you to a certain limit, for example editing posts. And after that an admin or mod has to promote you based on your overall behavior and trustworthiness. And of course high rep makes mods notice you easier, but not more than actively helping people and being a nice guy does.

After that you can just be made into a moderator.

Exactly, maybe admins should have to review promotions then they can just look at the posts.
