Freezing post counts :o

[Curator]

My first post in these wonderful forums ;)

I searched the board and forum another request for this kind of hack but no replies were given so I'd thought I'd ask one more time to see if anyone is willing to do it.

Basically my idea was to have another option in the admin CP to "freeze" or "lock" someones post count. A on/off setting basically. When set to off, no matter what they post it wont change. Pretty simple concept, I dont know how hard it would be to create though.

Its good for stoping spammers you dont really want to ban, punishing annoying little kids that are obsessed with postcounts, and generally screwing with people I know ;)


Any takers? :)

OK.... I will make this for you.

You can hack your MySql database to allow for negative post counts. ;)

I am an administrator at http://www.ls1.com. I have altered 2 tables in my MySql database to allow for negative post counts. And in the control panel I have set up a new status called "Free Post Abuser" which is for post counts -1000 to 0.;)

Free post abusers are given -1000 post count.:D

Here are the mysql commands I issued to allow for negative post counts:

alter table user modify posts smallint(5) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;

alter table usertitle modify minposts smallint(5);

LOL Zzed, that's funny. We've have a lot of problems lately with spammers, so it would be really funny to have a few of them with -850 posts. ;D

neo, you can modernize the hack so that it was possible to appoint premoderation post and attachment only to the certain users? Or to make new hack which did it.

If you have not found the hack you are looking for, I have a version I made for my forums that allows you to specify a post count incrementation factor for users where you can use any positive or negative number to set the direction and growth factor for the post counts. Or you can freeze a user's post count by setting his incrementation factor to 0. ;)

Let me know if you are interested in my hack. :)
