Idiot Ban - Make fun of your troublesome users...

[defi]

Who says banned people don't deserve a parting gift?

Show your banned members you care by sending them a little greeting - everytime they login to their account :devious:

This is similiar to Brad.Loo's hack in which his displays a 404 error, however this one redirects the user to a set flash animation making fun of the user. How Glorious!

Special thanks to Paul M for the redirection help :nervous:

how to install?

1.Unzip the file
2.Upload the file "youare.swf" to the root directory (forum)
3.Install the plug-in
4.Harrass your banned users until they cry :ermm:


how do i change the page i want them to be redirected to? (how do i change the flash movie?)

1.Open the file banidiot.xml
2.Change the redirection name from "youare.swf" to the new file.
3.Continue harrassing the banned until they beg to come back


how can i demo test this?

Haha, any chance in doing this for 3.0.7? I havent even looked at the code it might not need to be ported.

404 error when you log into the forums :)

[Frenck]

This is so simple, BUT VERY COOL! :) Thx dude :)

Suggestion: Make it in the actual template system...

404 error when you log into the forums :)
I't sends you to werebored.com/youare.swf, but it has to be werebored.com/forum/youare.swf

Btw, I would also like to see this for 3.0.7

You mean it's coming up with a 404 error when using the demo account? I just logged in and it worked fine :ninja:
Suggestion: Make it in the actual template system...
I would have, but then I would lose the functionality of turning it on and off :ermm:
Get what I mean? May as well take advantage of the new plugin system all we can...
Port this to vB 3.0.7
But where's the fun in having to actually edit files? :speechless: And you can't enable/disable it either.

Anyways I'll consider doing it tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments.

Yep 404 error with the test account :)

lol, considering most people know how to get around bans nowadays, you might have some fun with it ;)

@defi - The swf file is in the wrong place - you have it the forum folder but are redirecting to the root. Either move the file or add the forum folder to the redirect :)

That's really weird as I'm not getting this error - instead I'm being directed to the forum root where it's located :ermm:

Eh, I'll duplicate it for the heck of it. :nervous:

[Kirk Y]

Rotfl... this is hilarious, I love it. By the way, nice template!

[Paul M]

That's really weird as I'm not getting this error - instead I'm being directed to the forum root where it's located :ermm:Maybe browser dependant ? - put the full url (http://........) to be sure of where it redirects.

[akanevsky]

Hahaha what an evil hack..
/me clicks install
but 3.0.7 port would be nice

[Mayers]

Lol this is great :D. I'll be sure to add this when I upgrade :).

[defi]

How did this wind up in code mods? This edits no code. This is a plugin.

Could a mod please fix this?

[Andreas]

This Hack includes an additional (SWF) file.
According to our current Definition, it is not a Plugin then as it requires direct file access (for uploading the SWF).

Well so much for using the plugin instead of hard editing the global.php :ermm:

[bbck]

Wow this is great. I'd love a 3.0.7 port of this. ;) It looks simple enough but I was unable to do it myself (very novice coder).

[defi]

My bad guys, I've been absent for a bit. I've received alot of PMs about this and I'll get to answering those asap.

[akanevsky]

May I port this to vb 3.0.7? Since you are not doing it.

[cecdah]

Installed and working. :banana:
