Per user Edit/Deletion flood control (plugin)
![]() Developer Last Online: Jul 2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This modification is in the archives.
What does it do
There are two parts to this. 1. Allows you to specify users who cannot edit or delete their posts. 2. Has an optional trigger to catch people who delete or edit too many of their posts in too short a time. You specify the limits. Why? If you haven't had them already you probably will at some point: The tantrumers. These are people who one day decide they hate you and/or your board, usually just after you've deleted one of their posts or pissed them off some how, and they'll want out. Instead of leaving quietly and gracefully they'll go on a mad rampage to edit/delete/both all their posts. With 3.5/3.6's ajax, this is made very easy so they can do a fair bit of damage before you're able to stop them. How does it work? When a member goes to edit their post, either via the inline editor or the "full" editor, a check is made to see if they actually can. If they can't, they're shown an error message of your choice. If they can, a check is made to see how many edits and/or deletions they have done recently. If it's "too many too fast" (the limits are specified by you), then they are stopped and an optional PM is sent to a member of your choice (probably to you) saying so, this is so the edits and/or deletions can be investigated.

Caveats
To do
Support Not much. If there's a bug, I'll try and fix it. If there's a way to edit or delete posts that I missed, I'll try and plug it. If it clashes with another mod, I'll look at fixing it if it's an easy fix. No "it doesn't work" support given. It works just fine on a clean install of 3.6.0 gold. Screens There's not really much to screenshot, so I've just taken a sample few. options.png is the admincp options Image1.png is the default "you can't" message for those who can't edit/delete. Image2.png is the same message but in the inline editor (vB feature) Image3.png is the default PM you get when someone sets off the trigger.

Would it be possible for you to add an option to only allow users to edit posts before a certain amount of time? say 20 minutes?

There is a vB setting that does that, under
vB Options > 'Message Posting and Editing Options' > 'Time Limit on Editing of Posts' though it does apply to everyone (not certain if it applies to site staff) No members have liked this post.

Nice work, I was also wondering if you would be able to add an extra feature in which will allow a certain member to edit in a specified thread because my edit time outs after a day or two, which is what i like, but on the odd occastion there is a member which I would like to be able to keep editing and adding information to their thread.
all the other features are really good tho. nice work.

This hack is kinda designed to replace the editing time limit.
The time limit check is done before this plugin is reached, so it'd have to be flipped over so that everyone can edit any aged post but you can input usergroups that are limited by time. It's a possibility but not something I'm planning at the moment. Perhaps in future. No members have liked this post.

Very nice mod. Is it compatible with vB 3.5.x or is there a version for this vBulletin-Version?

I haven't tested it with 3.5 though for some reason I'm thinking it's not compatible. I'm not sure why, must have been a thought that came to me when I was coding it.
I did do a 3.5 version. It's much more complicated and requires file edits but does practically the same thing: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110918 No members have liked this post.
