How many member images are uploaded to your site? Can you see the total GB amount of jpgs etc in your folders on your server?

it is safe to delete old module versions...right?

Installation and Configuration

I don't know about the Core and the 'dozens of cores'.... but when I asked, i was told by one of the JR team once that I could safely delete previous versions of modules going way back. I did keep the latest two versions of each module just in case I had to revert back one or two steps. It never appeared to do any harm deleting the very old module versions from my server. I don't know whether the Core is considered to be just another module in this respect, so you may want 'higher up' confirmation of that.

I hear what you are saying Perrie. It's a dilemma.
I'm wondering however that even if you are able to set things the way you are hoping in terms of private groups and moderators...well any moderator who can't be trusted to follow your simple request to stay OUT of private groups is likely to do other untrustworthy things as well- like maybe inappropriately editing the profile pages, passwords, settings, or posts of members they dislike. There's a point at which a moderator is more problem than they are help. I personally feel that having mods who won't follow my stated guidelines is worse than having no mods at all.

Perhaps you can have a few 'mods in name only' who are NOT Profile Mods with power to edit stuff, but who merely report transgressions to you? Maybe you could call them Deputies or something honorable sounding. Then make a smaller circle of 'real' mods you truly trust to follow your guidelines.

I can understand the members of a private group being distraught about someone waltzing in casually to say happy new year...(lol). But heck unless they are making plans to bomb or assassinate someone, it wouldn't take much wild guessing anyway as to what their group was posting about...? Isn't a simple apology and assurance from you enough for them?

Hi Perrie,
Though it would be cool if we could micro tune moderator permissions to this degree, I can see why it's not programmed in.
When it comes to my general members, I expect them to not understand all the accepted behaviors that site rules try to regulate. Thus, limitations are in place to prevent them from taking certain software actions on the site.
However, because my moderators DO have certain abilities that normal members do not, I make sure to outline precisely what is expected of them. Perhaps it sounds harsh, but if a moderator will not follow what I've laid out, then I wouldn't consider them to be moderator material. I highly recommend if you have already done so, to have a private moderator Group in place that all your moderators subscribe to in order to keep on the same wavelength when issues pop up, and to advise them of site problems and policies. In my Mod Group, I have info for them in place about what to do if...and also keeping abreast of site issues and behind the scenes stuff.
Forgive me if you already have this all in place. It might be helpful now that you've had this incident that caused a problem, for you to compose a clearly laid out page of moderator dos and don'ts, to maybe post in the private mod group later on once the dust has settled. Doing this can be just as effective as limiting powers...in fact maybe even more effective, as it can stimulate discussion in clarifying what's expected, in a way that may enable the mods to be more intuitive in various future circumstances as well. It also has the benefit of allowing me to organize my governing policies in my own mind. I know this kind of thing really helps things run smoothly on my own site, so i wanted to share what I do with you concerning managing my moderators behaviors.

I think you are supposed to click on ONE of those 2 duplicate 'users online' boxes in your dashboard, and select it to show Users Signed up instead. Click right on the box to see the options to change the box.
