Not me, that was one of the features of ZT's hack, which I removed, due to the complications arising from the Hierarchical option. I guess it's time to bring it back, so please give me some time and some help here.

How do you want this handled? I mean, if you are using the hierarchical option, every group can be warned (except for admins), even the super mods (by an admin) or the mods (by the admins or a supermod). In this case, if you define more protected groups, they would be treaded as admins (if you use the hierarchical) or to the management groups (if you do not). Is that what you want? I mean, wouldn't it be silly to be able to warn the super mods or the mods and not to be able to warn other groups? Let me know if that's what you want.

Nothing much, his warning points remain in his account, until they are removed automatically. If he doesn't get another warning, he remains active but if he gets even one more point he is banned again.

Sweet! I thought of this scenario when we were discussing expiring warnings and bans, but I never posted it.

It's nothing new, that's how I have it working since the beginning, the only thing that I changed is that now I do not round down the warning points to the maximum, I leave them at whatever they are.

Where is JimpsEd? I need his answer about the protected groups, so that I can go to bed. It's already 3:00 am here.

glad to see this hack progressing so quickly! I agree, a must have for any decent size site.

I'll keep checking back, waiting for the updates to slow down before I install it. (yeah im lazy)

You are forgiven (LoL), but I think that it will slow down. I just got an idea that I need to implement in my site, and the hack I found is not exactly well supported, so I have a lot of work to do myself.

So, I am sure this will not be updated as often as now. But then again, it all depends on what other ideas I'll get.

You see, not even the users of the hack check this thread as much as the owner. Kudos John, I only wonder how you eat and go to the bathroom while keeping on top of this hack. :) Great work. My pick for hack of the month.

I bet he has a wireless connection! ;)

I have a wireless connection to my mobile, but that's not what I use for this thing! I would go bananas, if I were to use that one. Unfortunatelly gentlemen, I am at home with several hours to spend, during the week-days in the morning, when the twins are at the nursery school. The weekends are a different story though.

Wish me luck in getting some employment soon, or else......

Time to work on that other hack.

Many thanks sv1 :) A great addition.

Maybe some ideas to consider; when a post is warned, have the option to display at the end of the post/highlight it in some way saying what it was warned for, by who, how many points and so on. "Public" warning, as such, to "teach" users a lesson before they do it themselves.
