Forum Control — Advanced Moderation & Forum Management for XenForo

Forum Control enhances XenForo 2.3 with powerful tools for managing forum moderators, nodes, and custom user tags directly from the forum interface.

Simplify everyday administrative tasks, organize moderation responsibilities, and manage forum sections without constantly switching between the public forum and the Admin Control Panel.

Moderator Management

Make managing your moderation team easier with integrated moderator assignment tools.

• Assign moderators through the moderator panel.

• Edit existing moderator assignments.

• Remove moderators when necessary.

• Assign a single moderator to multiple nodes simultaneously.

• Display active node moderators directly inside forum sections.

These tools help administrators organize moderation responsibilities across their communities.

Forum Node Management

Manage your forum structure directly from the frontend.

Supported node management features:

• Create new forum nodes.

• Edit existing node settings.

• Delete nodes.

• Create child nodes and subforums.

• Assign moderators to specific nodes.

• Set passwords for individual nodes.

• Display active moderators within nodes.

• Select available node prefixes.

This functionality reduces the need to navigate between different administrative interfaces when making routine forum changes.

Custom User Tags

Create and manage custom tags for forum members.

• Create new user tags.

• Edit existing tag names.

• Customize tag colors.

• Choose between public and hidden tags.

Custom tags provide additional ways to organize and distinguish users within your community.

Streamlined Administration

Forum Moderation brings essential administrative functionality closer to where forum activity happens.

Instead of navigating through multiple Admin Control Panel sections, authorized staff members can manage moderators and forum nodes directly from the forum interface.

This makes routine moderation and forum management more convenient, especially for communities with multiple sections and active moderation teams.
