Critical Red Alert : Abuse reporting broken completely and dangerously
ronia - June 21, 2009 - 13:31
Dear Drupal Friends,
Do anyone of you use Abuse reporting ?
Its an essential tool
and must for all most all
multi-user web sites.
But this is broken for Drupal 6.12
Nodes auto-hidden, hidden or removed
by abuse are still accessible
by auth users by url or as bookmarked
items.
Views list also continue to show the title
and clicking the title
the node is accessible.
For very simple essential
things I am getting stumbled
and it seems there is no crisis
managment team for D6.
This should have been
an easy part of the core
even without
fighting for feature requests,
Please help someone.
.
If you are having a problem with a contributed module, you need to file an issue in that module's queue. Most maintainers don't monitor the forums for issue reports.
And, no, this shouldn't be part of core. It's not something everyone needs.

Thank you
Dear Michelle,
I am on the posting line
just when I saw your post.
I have posted issue list in views
and am posting it in Abuse issues
The purpose of posting in forum
is that sometimes some helpful
developer can actually post
a solution or helpful link
while issue list remain neglected
for long long days
Regarding your message on core,
core is not always detemined by what
all people need - a good cms
need to build a good habit of
people by imbibing good
components. There can be
debate on this as views differ.
Color and forum are not
not something everyone needs - still
they are in core.
Recently there seems to be
lot of hue and cry
on forum usability microgroups
and drupal needing to
competitively better than wordpress.
If simple things like Quote, Abuse
report ( essential features for forum
if not for whole sites ), Search (unicode
search does not work) give so much
trouble what do you think ?
.
Well, it's possible you may find something by random chance but the normal place to put module issues is in the module issue queue.
As for what goes into core, that's an endless debate. Everything thinks what is important to them should be in core.
Also, there is no need to hit enter in the middle of your sentences. You only need to hit enter if you wish to start a new paragraph. Otherwise, just let the natural word wrap do its thing.

Dear Michelle,Thank you
Dear Michelle,
I work on a lower resolution -
as my eye sight is not good.
I like to put normally things
in issue list and was in the process
of doing that but
random chance may be working better
as I see some issues just not answered
by anyone.
Just curious to know
you as Advanced forum developer
dont you need Quote and Abuse ?
Is these working for you?
.
Wordwrap should work no matter what resolution you're working at and extra carraige returns make your posts hard to read for others. There's no law that says you have to use word wrap but you may find people less willing to read your posts. It's up to you.
I use the quote module and it works fine. I don't need the abuse module as I use Mollom for spam and Flag for everything else. Core doesn't need quote and abuse because they only have value on sites where there is user submitted content. I'm in favor of a lean core and using contrib to add functionality.

I also tested Abuse as well as Flag Content ... though neither was in acceptable condition for production use in my tests (Drupal 6).
Personally I plan to use Flag Abuse on my site, which is a small extension for the Flag module. I also use Quote with no issues.

More information
Dear Michelle, In all probability you are not using latest Drupal
6.12 with latest Abuse. Please see http://drupal.org/node/422038
If you have a demo site that uses these latest versions please post
a link.
Mollom and Abuse have completely different purpose. Flag does not
have any user threshold. In Abuse you can set a node to get hidden
if ten (any number you want) users report abuse against a comment
or node. This is how many sites operate.
Dear Keyz,
I failed miserably with Flag content as content is shown flagged
to user A, b, C even when just user D has flagged it and admin
has not yet done anything about this. This is
with the latest module and latest Drupal.
.
As I said, I'm not using the abuse module at all.

Answers
Dear Michelle,
I am so sorry. I meant Quote but I wrote Abuse.
Have you tested the latest Quote with latest Drupal ?
If you have a demo site that have these two latest
ones working please post a link.
It is fortunate that you do not need Abuse.
Dear DDorian,
Probably because I am a poet.
At my screen resolution Drupal does not have
a liquid scale.
This means the textarea box's righter half is
not visible to me.
To see what I am typing I must hit enter
or go on typing without seeing what I am
typing.
.
Yes, I have.
You might want to consider typing into a text editor and then copying it over when you are done.

Useful info.
Dear Michelle,
You have ?
This is an useful info that you have found no problem with latest
Quote and latest Drupal.
I have added this info here http://drupal.org/node/422038#comment-1727258
Dear Ronia, What theme are
Dear Ronia,
What theme are you working with in administration?
For the text, through an (existing) div, you might be able to do a:
Width: 200px;
Or
Padding-right: 200px;
Where 200px is a example amount to be set for the div.
This should allow you to type freely with wordwrap in your Drupal at your custom resolution.
Edit: Good morning, to me.
You meant the Drupal.org website of course. ;-) Yes, this is something that should be fixed... Is the Drupal.org website not accessible for the visually impaired? What you mentioned is something to keep in mind with my own designs as well.
Otherwise in Firefox -> View -> Pagestyle -> Choose "No Style". Opera has a menu for different layout styles as well for example View -> Style -> "Accessibility Layout". This should allow you to use wordwrap, at least on Drupal.org. These two browsers are my mainstay when it comes to accessibility, I don't know about any others.
Possible problem with comment field resizing
The comment field width not resizing appears like it might be due to the fact that the width resizing of the reply form for comments is done through javascript in the forum. Filed a bug report: http://drupal.org/node/498052.
Dear Mod or Admin
Dear Mod,
There were two posts here which I find
deleted without any note. Were they racial or something?
ck9 quoted a poem and his tracker till
shows http://drupal.org/user/453950/track
his participation in this thread.
Hmmm
I would be curious about who deleted what and why.
I'm relatively new to Drupal. (This year only.) And I find the community to be exceptional. But I am curious about purported deletion of posts.
.
I don't know who did it but it was probably because they were completely offtopic. Possibly a copyright violation? I don't know if the poem in question is under copyright but there was far more quoted than to be considered fair use.

Dear Mod or Admin
Dear Mod,
The deletion is nothing serious. I just
felt curious as there was no on-thread note or any mail
to me. Furthermore, ck9's tracker continues
to show link to it making things messy.
I had to keep on refreshing the page
like a confused stupid before I realised
it was gone!
But as I said the deletion is nothing serious.
Drupal appears more serious and grim faced
than buddypress community. It is usually
polite to keep a note like : "Edited by John, Site Mod etc"
The quote was from Shakespeare and there is
no copyright on that content.
It will be good to know for future
what amount of quote
is considered to be "fair"
There are plenty of offtopic
stuffs in plenty of threads which
are not deleted at all or deleted so
promptly ;-)
