This type of mod works great, we used to call it the token of death, not sure if that was a reference to a vb2 mod that was published or not.

thanks

This is a good suggestion, I would like to know if this can be done before I look for other options.

For all those that have tried banning members accounts and IPs only to have them resign up or use an ip changer, this is a good 3rd option. People shouldn't really know if they are banned by a cookie, it isn't a default vb banning option. Just ensure nothing gives that away and the mod is great.

Did anyone manage to do this?

thanks

Can this be made to use custom ban periods. Like If i have 10 day ban to save the cookie with an 10 days life , if is permanent ban to save ca 1 year expire cookie?
Good idea as is a simple way to block most of the users (not many knows about cookies let alone delete them).

BTW, if you give a 10 day ban (this will move user to ban group for 10 days) this will place a death cookie or not?

I guess most of your users don't use Firefox and cookie manager plugins? My users live by that sort of thing. Even flash supercookies don't deter them.

Does someone here check this one on 4.0 ?

What about users that are temporarily banned for 7 or 14 days etc., will they be affected by this?
