Ok, here are a couple ideas I would like to see...tell me whether I'm hi or not...
1) A drop down on all forum/topic/catagory areas that lists common CP functions. This would work the same as CP, however, being logged into the board, and being an admin, you would be able to complete them without entering the CP and logging in there. This should also only be seen by admins.
2) A hack to automatically ban a members IP when an admin or moderator views it. Have a new option there to ban their IP, host name, login name, e-mail, or whatever you choose from CP as your primary banning options. This would automatically enter the individual into the "banned" list.
3) Along the same as number 2, have an option to prune all posts by a certain user. This would help in the war against spamming. I'm not sure what a problem it is for you guys, but I've had SOME incidents where people have patiently awaited my 60 spam rule and kept posting messeges. Either that, or just to totally erase an annoying members identity from the board...LoL, sounds harsh, but could be needed.
If you didn't notice, I hate moving back and forth from CP and the forums to do my work. If you could take the most used options from the CP, and allow only admins to see them, and of course, use them, the streamlining of the board could be greatly improved.
Thanks!
