How to turn off the text format help?

Yeah, it feels to be missing, I personally also like to use such features. I created a proof-of-concept patch, incorporating some of ideas of better_formats module. This patch creates two new permissions: "show text format tips" and "show more text format link" and the third one which I couldn't manage to work (too long day...) -- from my experience, disabling text format selection for non-admin users (as in better_formats module) is one of the best thing the admin can do for him/herself. This is especially useful when you have to force your users to use one text format, because of the content workflow in a, let's say, newspaper.

aa, the patch

This patch won't fly for D7, and for D8, we might revamp that entire filter system once again. In response to the original post, where and how were you able to disable/remove the filter tips in D6?

Thanks :) Which renders this issue won't fix, as most of the enhancements of Better Formats are not suitable for 80% of Drupal users, or, won't apply to D8.

My work around for this is theme_filter_tips_more_info.

/**
 * Implementation of theme_filter_tips_more_info
 */
function YOURTHEMENAME_filter_tips_more_info() {
  return '';
}

...and theme_filter_tips.

There is an initial Better Formats port, which supports hiding filter texts, and as far as I use it, it works fine

Could you please let me know where to put this code.
Thank you
