Infraction PM User Override
Mod Version: 1.04, by Reven

This product will allow you to set a user from which all private messages sent to your members after infractions are given are from. If you wish for your moderators to remain anonymous, or don't wish your members to know the moderator that gave them an infraction, this will help.

Administrators, super moderators and moderators can all still see which moderators awarded each infraction in the normal way, but regular members cannot.

Features

• Lets all moderators hand out infractions from a standard username to protect privacy.
• Doesn't log moderator actions under the standard username, but as the moderator carrying out the actions.

Changelog

1.01 - Bug fix: users could see the moderator that gave them their infraction by clicking the red/yellow card next to the post on which the infraction was made. Staff still see the real moderator whome gave the infraction to the user on this page, but users no longer see this.

1.02 - Bug fix: users could see the moderator that gave them their infraction by going into their User CP and viewing the list. Users can now no longer see the read moderator, but instead the override user.

1.03 - Optimisation: hook placement for infractor user settings moved from global_start to infraction_start. There is no hook for infraction_start in the User CP, so the hooks are evaluated manually by the plugin usercp_infractioninfobit.

1.04 - Bug fix: plugin with Infractor user settings was not evaluating properly: users could see their infractor if they viewed their own profile.
