Admin features and other suggestions

[Parker Clack]

I would like to see the ability to prune members from the database that have been a member over a specific period of time, selected by a pull down menu, that have also never posted or only have a couple of posts, again selectable by a pull down menu.

So if you have a member that registered to the board over a year ago that has never posted you could prune that member from the database. The amount of time they have been on the board before pruned and the numbers of posts would be selectable.

This could also be done by putting in the amount of time
and number of posts in a text box.

Also, in the archive section I would like the new topic and closed buttons removed. There is no reason for them to be there and removing them would keep people from trying to click on them. The delete function for the admins should remain.

Speaking of the delete function I would really like to see the ability of deleting a post left only to the admins and moderators. This could be selectable in the control panel to allow members to delete their own posts but this should be something that could be controlled by the admins of the board. I prefer that our membership not be able to delete their own posts. Edit them yes. Delete them no.

Thanks,
Parker

That already exists - in the User Groups section of the Control Panel you can give users permission to edit and/or delete their own posts/threads.
