I have a question: on this kind of topic, when a user uses the "Report to moderator" feature, does the OP receive an email or the email is still send to the usual section moderator?

No, the op receives nothing. It's all anonymous apart from staff who have access to the report queue and they may receive an email about the report.

Including the huge Wall observer topic in speculation?
I think that i read somewhere that the OP is the one who will receive reported messages. I may be wrong or misunderstood the information weeks ago.

OK thanks, so the OP can't count on other users to help moderating his topic, he's on his own.
PM is the only alternative [in-forums] if required.

i think anyone who understands the above post, would understand the labeling better if it were called 'OP-moderated'

i don't think 'self-moderated' is quite the right name


True...  People aren't moderating it themselves, which is the impression I got Tongue

That's how it is named by the forum engine.

Yeah, that would be useful and it's something I've proposed before. I doubt it'll be developed on this forum but hopefully more self-mod features will be available on the new one. Another useful feature would be banning by entire member group. So for example you could prohibit Newbies or Juniors etc from claiming giveaways etc. It would also be useful if you had a troublesome member who kept coming back on brand new accounts.

Feature Request:

Banning certain users from writing in the self-moderated thread. It is time-consuming having to clean out a self-moderated thread from someone to persistently spams, as she/he knows nothing will be done about it. I have reported such users 20+ times, but that does not lead to anything. It seems the only way around this is a script that runs on the client side to tackle this automatically and that is hardly ideal.

When searching to make a new thread about self-moderation, I stumbled on this 4 year old thread. Allow me to mega-kick it with a feature request:

Feature request
Would it be possible to block users on my Ignore list from posting in my self-moderated threads?

Reason
I've now converted 3 of my threads to self-moderated, to end spam. My biggest (giveaway) thread collected an estimated 2000 non-qualifying spam-posts in 8.5 months. I add all of them to my personal blacklist, and click "Ignore" on Bitcointalk so they're easy to spot in the future. Every day I delete several posts from Ignored users.
If they simply can't post in my thread, Ignoring them once is enough to get rid of them forever, instead of deleting their posts every day over and over again.

Credits
It's not my own idea, someone else mentioned it somewhere. Unfortunately, I can't find it back to give credits.

Is the self moderated topic option only grated to certain people?
Or don't I have it because I being on many ignores has consequences now beside a bright yellow banner?

I'm not complaining I just wanna know. Grin

You might not see it because you're not using the default theme.

So, I verified that people other than the OP aren't able to delete posts in self-moderated topics. During my cleanup of that, however, the deletion I did of the post I made on my other account (which I made because that was the easiest way to get a session ID) via my Global Moderator account resulted in this message:
Quote
A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic.
I don't know whether this was intentional or not (since mods can delete posts that violate local rules even when the OP isn't around), but I thought that I'd give a heads-up.

Fixed.

Definitely an interesting feature for a forum - will users see when posts are deleted? Maybe a message saying "poly has deleted foo's post"?

That is a really good idea.

Meh, really it's no different than the current local thread rules (except most people don't even know/use it). There should probably be notifications of some sort though.
Since it seems a lot of people neglected to read BB's post... a bump. There have been "local thread rules" for as long as I can remember here, and are a privilege I've used and enjoyed. Allowing OP-moderation beyond "hey theymos, some guy posted a response here saying his dick is bigger than mine, but I made a rule against that. Please delete his big dick." just makes the whole process much more efficient.

You will now receive a PM whenever someone deletes one of your replies. This includes deletions by regular moderators. I will probably extend this to other mod actions in the near future.

Perhaps that would be an easier solution than notifications or marking deleted posts, a read only subforum where all user deleted posts are moved, available for all to read.

We need to somehow see deleted posts because.......
preferably in the self moderated topic, in bold print. that way, if someone reads the topic, sees there are 50 deleted posts, and the remaining 12 posts are all positive, they can notice.

wouldn't that make it way too easy to get 'legit' threads to look suspicious? just post 50 off-topic replies, wait for OP to delete them.
