Title: What Is Multi-moderation?

Okay, I was reading this post, here, and several people were talking about using multi-mod. So I got to ask, what is the wonderful sounding addon and where do I get it?

I LOVE Multi-Mod. XD It lets you move topics or close them or open them or add replies to them; or any kind of combination of them.

Underneath "Forum Control" there's "Topic Multi-Moderation." If you click that, you can then click "Add New." After that, you can set something up how you like. [=

For example, if you wanted something that would automatically accept members by giving them an acceptance message and moving their application via a single click of the mouse, you'd name it "Accepted" or something, just for your sake so you don't just name it "ytghujfdc" and have four with similar names that just confuses you.

Then you can select the forums you want it to apply to. [= So if it was an "Accepted" multi-mod, you would select the forum where people have posted their applications to be looked over, so if it was called "processing" then you'd just select that. If you were having a multi-mod that archived old threads then you could set it to move and then close, and you can select all of the forums by click and then dragging your mouse, or click one and then using Ctrl+A.

You can add something to the start or end of the topics, such as "Accepted." What I recently realised, however, is that you can add "<span style='color:whatever'>" in "START", and then in "END" you can add "</span>" or something along those lines like <b> or <i>, etc. and then the topic title will change colour or be bold or in italics. [=

"Alter topic state?/Alter pinned state?" is pretty obvious when you take a look. You can open or close the topic, and pin or unpin then using these lists. [=

"Move topic?" allows you to move your topic to any point in the forum; therefore if this was an acceptance multi-mod, you could move the topic to the "accepted" forum (Although don't tick the "Leave a link to the source topic?" unless you want a redirect link to be left xD).

And then in the last section, "Add a reply to the topic?" is where you would put your message saying that someone has been accepted, or whatever the multi-mod might be for. [= However, if you want a reply to be added then you need to select "yes" where it says "Enable this reply?" unless you don't want a reply and simply want the topic moving.

"Increment poster's post count?" means do you want the auto-reply to be added to the member's post count. I don't really bother with it, because post counts aren't really that amazing or useful unless you have a promotion whatsit. But why would an admin need a promotion? xD

I think this is easy enough to understand. XD If not, I'll answer any questions. <3

I'm glad someone asked this. I was curious and meant to, but totally forgot >.<

Well I've posted this here, but I've also made an Administrator Guide as well now. XD Basically I've just copied what I've already put here, but it's up for any future reference. [= here's the link.

edit :: i've also added onto my guide "how to use multi-mod" because I realised quickly afterwards that people won't automatically know how to use it just because they've set one up. XD

Interesting. I started to play with it last night, and it's pretty easy to figure out, methinks. But what do I know? I've been an IF admin for over 3 years and I'm just now playing with it.
