Moderation options during posting

I think admins and mods will know this problem...
You see a thread that needs to be moderated... so you comment... press send... then you wait for the thread to return after that you scroll down to lock or move the thread.
Why not have all of that at once?


A little moderation box under the posting area. Mods and admins will be able to chose an action after they post.
So for example a mod replies to a badly placed posts then in a drop down menu under the posting area he/she chooses :
after posting move thread...
or
after posting lock thread.
or
after posting garbage thread
that way after pressing send the post automatically gets locked or you are redirected to the move screen.
I think this could be quite useful... especially for admins and mods.

Ideas, comments?

i think invision has that/ that would be awesome if we have that

voted yes... interesting idea and helpful

Yeah, I can't fault this idea.

I would use this.

to be honest I dont think that is a really good idea, so I voted no.

First i didnt know at what exactly are you aiming for, but i understood when i came to this :

Voted yes. That would shorten the time needed for moderation.

LOL Jalo is going to hate me. But we can do this with tempalte editing.















But I voted yes!

You are joking right? cos its not funny...
template editing can't possibly add it... right?? right!

I love this idea

This is a good idea for Caihlem as he ALWAYS forgets to lock the topic once he's moderated .

Copy the code for the Moderating drop down box right into the post edit template. And still only mods will see the drop down box.

voted yes, I would use it

You and you smarty pants template editing...
I will get my revenge one day... you will see...
I shall laugh in the face of the dragon master as his beast is slain ... if thats even how you say it.

Nonetheless ... for our non phpbb2 clients I still think this is a smart tool that will speed up moderation time and just maybe the staff will have more time for... eh ... well for example ... giving support ?

Ive seen this before...

and kilsek add that to howto if not already added!

But great Idea Jalo.

Drag~

Anything that saves time and makes life easier gets a yes from me

F*****G AWESOME idea jalo!!!

This would help fellow phpbb2 non-css know how's alot...

this would be awesome, especually if it was on other versions, not just phpbb2

voting HELL YEA!!

Great Idea! Voted yes!

I think its fair to say you have Caihlem's vote as well. Possibly even Skittles' as of late!


Chris

Sure, I would love this idea.

Well Jalo me and kilsek talked about it and the copy/paste code wouldnt work, because you couldnt program it to preform the action when you pressed the "send" button.

So great Idea!
Drag~

Voted yes!

I don't need template edit. I can simply use some javascript.

Take a look at my new footer (using phpbb3)

It'd be great, something like this:

Voted yes! It will definitely save a huge amount of time.

Well, probably about 15 seconds max, but still a great idea!

15 seconds chris ... for 1 post ...
I go through a lot of posts a day... and many need moderation ... so that can save me up to 15 minutes a day...

i'd like to thank you for the screen shot... that gonna make understanding this greater.

Thats a great idea it would save alot of time

Yeah it great

True indeed, it is a great idea.

Bump, I'm still all keen.

Fantastic Idea. But I think that there should checkboxes instead. This way multiple actions can be selected, such as lock and move.

Underneath the part that says "Announcement, Sticky, Normal" should be:

Lock [ ] Move [ ] Split [ ] Delete [ ] Merge [ ] Basket [ ]

Then when "move", "split", or "merge" is selected, a drop down box (or a pop-up window) appears with further options.

Voted Yes.
