[Accepted] Recycle Bin
« on: August 05, 2003, 09:15:29 PM »
Forgive me if I've been out of the loop too long, but what about a recycle bin?

When a topic is deleted, it's send to a "recycle bin" where it remains untill it's removed, or the bin is emptied.

Personally, I'd rather do it like we do here - except, when you delete a topic it automatically should get sent to the board, and then you have to delete it from there to really delete it.

In other words... (psuedo)

if ($board = $recycleBin_board)
   delete();
else
   move();

I thought I already say that this was being considered...(was a mod already on previous board), if it did get implimented, I'd surely suggest it be an ADMIN configurable option. People on my board use the im system like it was a chat client...thousands and thousands of messages...ugh.

Methonis

This IS a problem!
I think the IM system should have an admin setting for the max KB for all posts or max number of posts before they are either removed oldest first... or the IM system let's the sender know them User's IM box is full to try again later, also an option for the user to archive messages that wouldn't be removed as it would in the inbox.
and a spam filter for [unknown] 400+ IM's! ;D

Aquilo

[edit] I just noticed this has been discussed in "Topic: Instant Message folders" they have a great idea!!  ;D

Actually, he's speaking of my site, Fractured.net, which is running a heavily modified YSE system.  Out of the 463 members, only 10 of us are men.  ::chuckles::

Done :)

In modsettings just select a board where you want all recycled topics to be moved to...


and all messages and topics that are deleted will be moved to this board

if somethings 'deleted to a recycle bin board' how would you know what board to restore it to?

i'd also like indication of who deleted it.

this is a good point, I don't know if something was done on this though

maybe something like this could be done: when delething the thread, the function adds a "reply" at the end of the thread, without sending notifications, "posted" by the person deleting the thread, with the date/time it was done, like any other reply, and with a link to "undo" to put the thread back where it was...

this link would have the board it originally belonged to and as action, it could call a new function that does this "undo", including the removal of this undo-reply at the end of the thread

if it's not included as a feature, it'd make a nice mod :)

Well coupled with moderation logging you should be able to track down every action.
