    Preventing mod from deleting other's threads

    I need to prevent moderators from deleting threads that are made by other members. I've already looked in the Usergroup manager, but I don't see the option "Can delete other's threads". I only see the following:

    • Can Post Threads
    • Can Reply to Own Threads
    • Can Reply to Others' Threads
    • Can Edit Own Posts
    • Can Delete Own Posts
    • Can Delete Own Threads
    • Can Open / Close Own Threads
    • Can Move Own Threads
    • Can Rate Threads

    thanks in advance

    from forums and moderators section, click moderator permissions. and you will see moderators that can edit permissions.

      thanks for the reply

      Unfortunately I don't see the option "Can delete other's threads".

        You can't totally disable a moderator usergroup to delete others post and threads.

        but

        Forums & Moderators > Show All Moderators

        You can click edit permissions next to each mod's username and you can choose

        Can Delete Posts > No

              I changed it, so mods can delete threads but only soft-delete. So this way the thread is not completely gone

                Speedy, how did you do that? I'm trying to do the same thing: allow smods to do only soft deletes.
