Moderator deleting post

[diettalk]

I had a moderator delete a post (from the database), even though I have "Can Physically Delete Posts (Completely removes the post from the database)" set to no.

Did I miss something or have something misconfigured? I want them to "soft" delete but not "hard" delete.

If they are a Super Mod, then you can't stop this without hacking. Otherwise:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Show All Moderators -> Edit (moderator name) -> Can Physically Delete Posts -> No

[diettalk]

They are all set to "No".

And is he a Super Mod? If your permissions are set correctly, he is not a Super Mod and you have no hacks installed, then this will work as designed.
