Okay!
I did not think about that.
In version 5 it was a concern and a problem.
So if I understand you, lock the member in the control panel using the selection lock this profile. I assume I can also disable the member from sending private messages.Then goto ban lists and type in the email address of the pusudo moderator?
This would still allow a moderator notification to go out to the locked and banned member.
Then just find the wordlet for moderator notification and modify the wording.
Well I guess the old adage is true."can't see the forest for the trees".
Thanks Charles I will try it out.
