View Full Version : Hide Empty Banned Reason

Many of my banned users (especially before the upgrade to 3.5) complain about being banned for nothing, so I figured this is more logical than how it is currently set up.

so does this just force you to fill out a reason when you ban someone?

I think It might just remove the 'Reason' box if no reason is given for a ban when the banned user is viewing the Banned Message...

...Or somethign along those lines. If so then I suppose its useful because people do get annoyed when you dont give them a reason and there is not always a simple reason and you might jsut want to get rid of them because of them being an annoyance.

I think some sort of Default banned message would be good though saying to email the Support for help or whatever if you cannot be bothered to type a reason. You could also have an option to show no reason - I have not got a clue how to do any of this but its an idea! ;)

No it just hides the phrase if no reason is specified.

Just edit the phrase in the XML file.
