I posted my hack here a while back, but my previous host was very unreliable.

I'd like to share it with you all again.

This hack works in conjunction with Private Messages. It's a link that is displayed in every thread that will report "abuses" or bad behavior to an administrator alerting him or her to the offensive post.

Feel free to upload this to the database.

You can get the hack here:

Scroll to the bottom to view the hack in action.

Hi NBAustin, good hack, just an idea, I think it would be good if your hack sent an email to all moderators as opposed to sending a PM. This way someone is likely to be alerted of the abusive post a lot quicker, otherwise you will not know until you visit your board again. Personally I think it would be good to just read the moderators file and send an email to each one of them. Just an idea!

Cheers

If someone would like to incorporate some code to notify the moderators or the moderator of the PARTICULAR forum, I'll be glad to include it.

I'm certainly no PERL whiz!

Hmm ok, well if the demand is there Ill se what I can do, should be fairly simple.

Great!

I wanted to do it, but my PERL skills aren't very good as I said.

Nice hack NB. I'll try it myself soon.

great stuff NBAustiin I too would like it if it could be sent to the particular forum moderator...means I wouldnt have to work so much

Up to the challenge?

Not just now mate, I have a fair bit on my plate setting my my site on a new web host.
Sorry.

joking down? Where is he?

Also, i suggest that u make an alternative button as well NBA...as soon as I put the button "Report abuse!" on my forum, i got at least 10 PM's, such as -

"My neighbour kicked my dog, what shall i do"
"I got some road rage on the motorway, now Im scared to leave the office........"
"Keris picking on me!"

etc, etc......cheeky buggers

i would suggest posting an announcement as to WHEN to use the button..IE; not for stupid **** like that.

To have it go to Mod by email simply change the link to:

$CGIURL/ubbmisc.cgi?action=email&EmailTo=$ModeratorCoded&thread=$JumpURL&Subject=Abuse: $SubjectCoded

The moderators can set PM to send them email notifications if they want to be notified via email as well.
