    I think it's pretty self-explanatory

    http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=67250

    The two main uses I see for this are:

    1. Mod is away on holidays. User PMs mod about unbanning/conflict/whatever. 3 days later, no response. But user now knows the mod is away, so doesn't start moaning on feedback about no response.

    2. Seller is selling something and goes away. Especially seeing as there's a "feedback" function on adverts.ie this could save sellers from negative feedback for poor reponse times.

    It could be an Smod/Hmod/Mod/Subscriber perk too :)

    Opinions?

    vB version 3.0.3
    It would be good if it got ported to 3.5.3

    Some people may not be members of vb.org so heres the pics

    Maybe make a hack that if a user doesn't log in for more than 2 years their account is deleted and posts changed to be under the name but with no user id link.
    T'would save db table space.
    I'm sure there is a couple of thousand redundant accounts.

    This gets suggested quite a bit,and gets shot down each time. The admins don't seem to mind. Plus, they to boast about xx,000 accounts.;)

    What the frack is going on with that guy having 245 unread PMs? Needs to spend at least a day trawling I reckon.

    It would definitely be a handy option alright. I'm not sure why it would be limited to SMods/Mods/Subcribers/HMods though. It should be open for one and all.
