Can moderators/admins see unsubmitted posts?

[Whiny-Butthurt-Liberal]

Ever since Codex upgraded to xenforo, it had this annoying little feature where the message box "remembers" posts that you typed but didn't submit. Same thing happens with threads, iirc. Is this saved only in my browser's local storage, or is it saved online, and if so - can staff members see posts that were typed, but never actually sent or deleted yet?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Nope. It's a JavaScript thing saved on your pc.

 

[Latro]

Can admins hear the secrets that we keep? When we’re talking in our sleep?

 

[Apostle Hand]

they don't care about us

 

[NJClaw]

I doubt this forum would be able to make some sort of asynchronous call every single time some dumb fuck decides to type something.

They can see you masturbating too. Don't even try to cover your webcam, they have other means.

 

[King Crispy]

We can't see what you described, Liberal, but we know you still own two pairs of bowling shoes.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

The mods here rake in your dirty washing, they clasp your soiled and stinking underwear to their nasal orrifices and they know what you did last weekend.


THEY KNOW

I don't own two pairs of bowling shoes, retard. I obviously didn't bring an extra pair of my own shoes to a bowling place and then change into them for no reason.

 

[Semiurge]

They know where you buried your last dead hooker.

Thank God, now I can stop sending them links to my videos on Google Drive.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Nah the links let us download a lot easier than the screen recording software.

 

[Semiurge]

They can see your IPs and contact emails, unless the system admin has restricted that feature for mods.

 

[Burning Bridges]

No they can only read things that are saved like your PMs

Moderators/admins can see posts before it's even typed in the message box.

Moderators/admins can see posts before it's even typed in the message box.

Even in the 2000s, forum software was capable of tracking the activity of each user and allowing this data to be viewed by moderators, although it would only reveal that someone was writing a post in a particular thread, not the contents of that post until it was actually submitted.

 

[Kruno]

Nope. It's a JavaScript thing saved on your pc.

Thank God!

You don't want to know about some of the things I was thinking about posting, but went and deleted them off the form.

 

[Burning Bridges]

We believe you, Kruno!! I assume it involved coprophilia-related phantasies? That you should indeed confine only to our little Javascript-shrink.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Let me stress again that DU can read our pms, but does so only very, very reluctantly.

But mostly by lazyness, and he even more rarely take part in our private convo.

Why it keeps the drafts across devices then? I type something from PC, close the browser, open up RPGCodex in my phone and voila, the draft is there; works vice versa as well.

are you using a browser that syncs your settings/storage and have it enabled?

 

[Ol' Willy]

Nope, I always set it to disabled.

More so, it even works like this with my work PC, and the only place I logged in at my work PC is RPGCodex

 

[The Red Knight]

Drafts are stored in the database, "associated to particular content items", and with the only intended viewing method being draft's owner restoring it:
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/a-new-editor-and-much-much-more.50519/

(should be under ACP -> Options -> Messages )

Database access is unrelated to and separate from administrator/moderator panels.


Semi-related trivia, the default value for saving frequency in 2.0+ supposedly got changed to 3 seconds.

I don't even want to know about most of the things you ended up posting.
