If you're able to work on any of this, would it be possible to integrate the Moderation system with the Personal Message system (which came after it)?
Not thinking of the major issues that Pappa has in mind, but simple things like 'post move' and 'thread move'. For recently-joined users, PMs are probably second nature, and they won't necessarily think to look in email when a post disappears. An 'Inbox' alert *on the page they're looking at* is much more natural, and saves the mod a job when shepherding newbies. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pappa" To: <boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu>; "Eric J Korpela" <korp...@ssl.berkeley.edu>; "Seti Forums Admin" <setifor...@ssl.berkeley.edu> Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 4:14 AM Subject: [boinc_dev] Feature Request > It appears that Seti Users as one of the largest populations have the most > social issues.
