Moderating
Hey,
I have a special group called 'moderators' on my forum and they moderate my forum but the problem I've hit is that I've unchecked the option for them to make a global announcement yet they still are able to make one... How to solve this?

Re: Moderating
You'll need to do this for all forums. So even thought you've unchecked it for one you'll need to uncheck the option for all forums.

Re: Moderating
Are some of the members of this group also in the administrator group?

Re: Moderating
Ehh yea I am but I am the Group leader
I've also tried to make another person a group leader, but with no success (the person wasn't member of higher groups)

Re: Moderating
If the members in question are in the administrator group then they will still be able to create global announcements.
Re: Moderating
The account I tested with was not a member of any higher groups with the ability for a global announcement.
Re: Moderating
When you edited the permissions were you in the advanced mode?

Post a screenshot of the permissions of a forum that has the issue.

Re: Moderating
So only managers and administrators can create them? Could some moderators be in the manager group?

Re: Moderating
Nope they aren't except for my main account that controlls the forum (being group moderator).
I've tried it on another account that was only member of the following groups : Member, Veteran, Moderator

Re: Moderating
Have you ask the moderators about this, or have you just tested yourself?

Re: Moderating
Well they had made a global announcement themselves so I made a testaccount and checked what was going on.
Re: Moderating
So they can make a global announcement that will appear in the whole forum? Is there any section that they can create a global announcement in? If yes, then it will appear in the whole forum.

Re: Moderating
That is the problem... I have everything the same as I always choose the option 'take permissions from forum:'.
Re: Moderating
Do you mind sending me a private message with a test admin account so that I can see this for myself?
Re: Moderating
Thank you for the private message.
I have taken a look at the permissions and everything seems to be in order but members in the group 'Moderator' are still able to create global announcements. I will pass this onto our pro admin to take a look at.

Re: Moderating
What do you mean reset the account? If you mean the test account then you can delete it because it's no longer needed.
Re: Moderating

@Base: Could you please test the same thing on your personnal forum please?

Re: Moderating
@Buttercup I have tested this on my personal forum and no group without the permission can make any global announcements. It is working properly.
Re: Moderating
Hello
I've also tested it on another forum and it is working fine: "impossible to make announcement if no permission"

So this topic does not automatically get pruned to the garbage, you will need to bump it every two days.

Re: Moderating
Thank you
I had tested it on a test account and could make a global announcement, even with only having the account subscribed to the moderators group.
