Set a specific user as topic 'moderator'

[[Rstar]Paul]

I get your point there, however, theres nothing to do untill there actually is a smf script for it.

I am not an expert in terms of SMF; however, I doubt that such add-on exists for it, as it would require additional data sets to be stored in the database which negatively affects its (already low) performances. An alternative solution could be that a number of trustworthy members are assigned to moderate a particular section that has topics that need sharing (for example, groups and businesses section), and that the leading members of such groups PM the moderator with the additions to the topic.

It could be good, but you are allowed to make an account used only for the purpose of the group (as in topic etc), though I would get permission first...
The ownership could be changed to that so all you would need to do is give someone else the password.

Put simply.

Not possible. - No available package for SMF that supports this.

Would be cool though - then I could delegate to Bishop Bastard, and he would actually do something. :P

[iDavid]

I totally support this!

(already low) performances

Performance issues has nothing to do with the software but the hardware/internet/software of server and the people trying to access the forum

Some load times from some of the SMF forums I own

"Page created in 0.049 seconds with 12 queries."
"Page created in 0.053 seconds with 11 queries."
"Page created in 0.081 seconds with 9 queries."

I totally support this!

As Reece said this is not possible so why support it? You should be posting on the SMF forum about adding this feature for future releases

It is possible to make a package for this, and it just so happens that I'm pretty experienced with SMF 2.0 modifications.
Supported, and I can make a proof-of-concept package as well.

Hmm actually after looking I found this:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1621

But it's outdated.

[stormeus]

Yeah, but only the topic starter can do anything, and he has complete control over the thread as if he were a regular moderator (move, delete, edit replies).

[Traser]

This would be very usefull, an great example is when my group leader was forumbanned, the topic hadent been updated for like 5 months 

Ask an Webmaster to change the username of the first post!

But still supported, I will look over this idea .

[stormeus]

Very unstable version, but here's what I have so far.
