How do I find the guilty party

[ancient1]

Hey there, sorry if this has been posted in the wrong place.

we run a phpbb style board and there is someone deleting posts. I can not find anything in the administration panel that allows me to track who is doing this. Do any of you know any way to trace this?

Any help would be great

Thanks :)

Look in your servers raw logs (most hosts supply them - if they don't, switch hosting companies)

there is a mod action mod that allows you to see what moderators/admins are doing

search for 'moderator action logging' I don't have an exact url or just poke around at phpbb.com, it's there somewhere

another thing you should look at is timing out the ability for anyone but mods and admins to edit posts. There is a mod for that as well somewhere.

something to keep in mind is that I found a bug in that mod, one of the columns in the db was too small and I had to increase the size.

the real name is 'Log Actions MOD' there si a huge thread at phpbb about it and my bug was documented there so it should be fixed.
