404 error ban

[Brad]

This hack provides you with a new way of banning people from your forum, when needed you will be able to move members into a new usergrouped named '404ed users'.

When users are in this group they are unable to access the forums, instead they are sent a fake '404 file not found' error. This hack will also send spoofed 404 errors to banned ip's.

Installation requires you run one query on your database, which creates one new usergroup with the proper usergroupid (id 404). Also requires two file edits in two files. One file edit for /root/global.php, and one for /root/includes/functions.php.

The miserable user hack ROCKS!!!! :nervous:

Can you just add the ID of your "banned" group without running a query on the DB? I don't really know too much about this, I don't want to create a new group, just have my banned group see the 404's.

Sounds like a cool hack, thanks. :)
