Moderators warn a member from one of their posts or from the moderator control panel, as in any phpBB. The platform adds Graduated warnings: temporary sanctions applied according to the number of active warnings.
Set the tiers
- Tools tab of the administration control panel, Graduated warnings screen.
- For each tier, enter a number of active warnings, a sanction and a duration in days.
- Save. Clear a row to remove a tier; without tiers, warnings carry no sanction.
The possible sanctions are: Posts require approval, Posting ban and Temporary ban. Each new warning applies the highest tier reached; the sanction lifts itself at the end of its duration, or earlier with “Lift” in the list of current sanctions. Founders are never sanctioned.
Warning duration
A warning stays active for the Warning duration set in the General tab, Board settings.
For the member
When the member is notified of the warning by private message, the sanction it triggers is announced there. They find their warnings and sanctions in their User Control Panel, Overview tab, Warnings screen.
