Hi, Not sure if anybody can help... Hopefully they can. How do I stop users from seeing the option to restore an edited or deleted post? It was likely edited / deleted for a reason, I certainly don't want users having the choice... ;) Thanks DD

Thanks, but I don't think that does what I want (unless I'm being dumb, sorry if i am). I want the owner of an edited or deleted post to be able to see that post, along with the message we leave. What I don't want is for them to be able to click the 'restore' button (or whatever its called) that basically negates the point of moderating. Can I turn that off?

There is currently no Possibility to hide the "Undelete" Button. That Would require a new Setting for the Access Mask an Can Undelete Flag.

Poo :( I have to say, whilst I love this product, I'm frankly amazed that nobody has thought of this before - given that 'moderators' exist within the app you'd think somebody would assume you might not want people to be able to undo the moderating :D
