I only noticed that one check against 'moderate', which is a permission that doesn't exist, I didn't see any other checks.
Re 'any', it does sort of fall into the own/any convention that permissions have, users can alter their own but only moderators can alter anyone else's.

The 'fixed' prefix was only relevant before we had the archive board :P

To do as you suggest would require rethinking the entire warning system from scratch. It's not like vB where you have yellow and red cards (or first/second warnings), issuing a warning in SMF and currently Wedge means to adjust a 0-100% bar against each user.
So, such a menu would have just one item: issue warning, which sort of defeats the point of having the menu, really.

Oh, I didn't know about that part, thanks for letting me know.
(Of course, I need to fix it in the installer, which means changing the original key definitions rather than writing change statements.)

Hahahaha, yes, I expected that one :P But it doesn't do it as standard, no? (If not, it can be sent to the archive.)

For the former, I would love to see both boards and categories stored in a decent-life cache so it can be accessed without any hassle from QueryString.php, which would make it faster without doubt.
I'd love to see a setup whereby plugins can declare - if they want to - new pretty filters for items. Though I'm honestly not sure how much it would require since I'd typically imagine that plugins would probably handle it themselves for the most part - but if it can be added sanely, all for it.

All the local ones would do just that, subject to the TTL expiring on the local copies. Of course, your own computer also has a resolver cache as well, but whatever, a prolonged attack on the root servers would, for most sites, be problematic. By 'sustained', I'm talking a minimum of 8 hours, ramping up towards 24.
This, of course, assumes local servers aren't set to keep their cache longer, but that has other problems.

Fuss over a badge?!
OK, I can understand why Co/nsultant may not have been ideal, and moreso with con/sultant. But the word is a strange one, there is really no great place to break it up aesthetically and not have some derivable meaning that's not so harsh.
Consult-ant does not imply a crook at all. I have been a consultant in my time and it can pay handsomely - provided that you know your stuff and act with integrity. Like everything else, there are shady consultants and strongly ethical consultants. But it does, as Nao, states, imply 'ant'.
And of course I am haunted by Dogbert's explanation of how the work 'consult' came about. "I like to con people, and I like to insult people, what if I combine them?"
Perhaps the problem isn't the two-tone aspect but the fact that the word is wrong. Would contrib/utor be a better compromise?

0x, it wouldn't matter. People STILL wouldn't read it. I could put it in place of all other content and people still wouldn't read it.
The interesting thing is that there is a correlation between:
* people that can't read what's in front of them
* people who will need support help
* people who don't give a fuck about anyone or anything except what they want
It is because of these people that we considered long and hard about making Wedge paid, if only to filter out the worst of the idiots.

It's almost like people don't frickin' read what's in front of them, you know? That I actually went to the trouble of making a big sticky thread that actually answered the very question in this thread and still this thread appears. It's not even like it's in a different board or anything.
There is a part of me that wants to add a reading comprehension test into either the registration process here, or better, into the download page and those who can't follow simple instructions just should be prevented from ever running Wedge, because it'll be better for everyone in the long run. If you're too fucking lazy to read what's directly in front of you, I don't really want to support you.

I've committed this in r1519, so that should fix it - but it needs Nao to apply the changes here before I can say this one is fixed.
