Default Editor Messages
Mod Version: 1.2.0, by Pandemikk

About DEM:
Default Editor Messages (what a name) allows forum specific messages to populate the editor when users create newthreads. This, originally custom modification, has been converted into a proper vB product for vB.org users. DEM uses instances and messages in combination to allow for very specific message display and order.

Uses:
Have you or your moderators ever had to clean up messes in your community because your users simply ignore or forget the rules? Or maybe you have a specific forum where you want all new posts to follow a template and you find that no matter how much you ask it still isn't followed correctly?

Then this mod is for you! When a user makes a new thread they're most likely not going to go around reading all the rules before they do so (we can still hope, can't we?) but if a chunk of text appears right where they're typing they're bound to stop their fingers and open their eyes!

Features:

• Fully phrased allowing for translations and multiple languages.
• Instances! Allows for simple configuration amongst multiple forums with the same message(s).
• Robust! If you delete a message any instances that used it will default to no bound message. Prevents errors without hindering usage.
• An "override" setting allows for your message to populate the editor even if other text already exists in there.
• Auto-delete / replace message(s) on post creation or, with javascript, in the editor itself with your own custom content.
• Extensive message customization. Specify additional customizable content before and / or after message(s).
