Alpha 2 Warning System

[wpillar]

Potential additions to the warning system for Alpha 2:

• Configurable warning thresholds, X number of points is a ban etc etc.
• Configurable automatic warnings
  • Posting a certain word or phrase
  • Posting a link to a certain domain
• Warning points expiry (using task system Scheduled Task System #12)
• Integration with Notifications (Alpha 1 Notifications #14)

Configurable automatic warnings
Posting a certain word or phrase
Posting a link to a certain domain

Once again, should be integrated with censor/word filter IMO.

I disagree, I think there's an opportunity here to develop what I would call a 'conditions & effects' system. Rather than having all these different components for doing something when something happens, like bad words, automated moderation, automated warnings, group promotions etc, I think we can abstract all of that away into a 'if this condition is reached, apply this effect'.

We'd have an incredibly flexible and extendable way of automating all kinds of things:

• When a user reaches X posts, put them in this group.
• If a post has been reported, hide it.
• If someone posts the word 'shit' replace it with 'shoot'.
• If a users first post contains a link, flag it for moderation.

And how exactly is that different? I'm not following your idea.

It's different because there's one component instead of N.

How would this single component look? Another page where admin would be able to choose from a variety of conditions and then from a variety of effects for each condition? If so, shouldn't that be separated into another "conditions & effects" issue?

@Destroy666x something like that, yes it should be a separate issue.
