Disabling Report to Moderator Emails

[tjbalon]

Hello all,

Whenever a post gets reported on our forums it goes to all moderator emails. As we approach a high number of posts a day, some days we are using thousands of emails due to reports.

We're looking to either send the report contents to every mod via Forum PM, or disable the email moderators get all together.

Thanks.

From what I remember, each moderator has to change their own settings themselves. To do this, go to Moderate>>Preferences>>Change Settings

Where you see Notify of topic reports:, they can change that to never.

this would mean that the mods would not get any notification as SMF does not support sending via PM by default. if it were sent via PM they may get an email anyway if they have that enabled.

However...   the reports would still go into the reported post list under the moderation menu

I'm fine with that. We're just wasting thousands of emails to 50+ staff.

Simplest (and most easily reversible) way is to edit your Sources/SendTopic.php file

Look for "// Send every moderator an email." then comment out the subsequent line that sends the email(s):

Code (Find) Select Expand

sendmail($row['email_address'], $emaildata['subject'], $emaildata['body'], $user_info['email'], null, false, 2);

Code (Replace) Select Expand

// sendmail($row['email_address'], $emaildata['subject'], $emaildata['body'], $user_info['email'], null, false, 2);

PERFECT. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, didn't know what file it'd be in. Thanks a ton.
