>Couldn't find anything in the documentation about this. How does it work?
if someone posts with a tripcode listed in ADMIN_TRIPS, they are allowed to post even if posting is disabled.
>That's your POV and I don't think it should play that much into software design choices, just like Shii's stance on the E-Mail field.
why should your POV play more into software design choices than WAHa's?
>One might reasonably say, though, that it's sometimes for the good of the community to make statements as a moderator when you step in. You shouldn't have to announce a list of moderators or delete posts to make that believable - a simple capcode would suffice.
$name="<span style=\"color:#ff0000; text-decoration:blink;\">".$name."</span>" if $capped and $name;
$trip="<span style=\"color:#ff0000; text-decoration:blink;\">".$trip."</span>" if $capped and $trip;
A more elegant solution would be to pass the $capped variable to REPLY_TEMPLATE, and use some <if> statements to change the class used for the name and tripcode, and then change the CSS files so that they can each set the style of a capped name according to their own stylistic considerations. Or just surround the name with <em>, which would be more semantically correct.
