Flagged Post Discussion Nodes

[inomnibus]

In previous versions of vBulletin the flagging or reporting of a post would generate a discussion thread in a selected forum in order for moderators to discuss the report and determine the best course of action. No such functionality exists in vBulletin 5.x as of version 5.4.1. I'm inquiring as to the feasibility of creating such functionality. There is an existing JIRA for this function but it is five years old and in backlog.

I will look into it. What happens if multiple users flagged the same post? Will it generate just one thread or multiple threads?

I have noticed this also, there is settings to control it and start a discussion thread but it doesn't seem to work

Those are one of the old settings from vB4 that got carried over to vB5. They are removing those old settings gradually at every release.

This would indeed be very helpful. We are struggling now when it comes to discussing moderation activities. In general moderators communicate a lot less frequently amongst eachother now. I can't really understand how VB stripped this option. A secondary effect is that there is no searchable history available for members that have flagged frequently or are beging flagged on a frequent basis.

To be able to formally discuss a flag report, we now copy the flag report and past it into the mod discussion forum.However, it's 2018 already and such detours shouldn't be necessary (in my humble opinion). So yes, a solution for this would be highly appreciated.
