Any way to make this available to moderators? I would prefer this over banning at times.

i won't ban anyone (at least not permanently): i think that the people who would otherwise be banned, actually get off on it as though they've been martyred. i find this is far more effective than banning in correcting their behaviors.

hahaha! This is the most brilliant hack ever! Thank you SO much!

Hey, few question:

Would it be possible to give mods power to add IP's to the miserable list?

Would a guest with his IP being on the list, still be able to register? I added an IP for the user and he is still able to register with the same IP.

Thanks

This will not stop registrations.

I see, any chance you would be able to make this option for future release?

Also, does this mod use cookies? I mean, If the user with the added IP registers with a new IP, would there be cookies saved on the same computer telling it to make this user also miserable?

IP and username.

Great mod Paul. This is far more better than banning.

This should be mod of the century!

I've been using it for 3 years. IMO it is the best weapon in an owner's arsenal :cool:

On a side note... I've been using 2.0 and it was working with 3.8.1. I just upgraded to the current MU version. When the update completed I had lost all my IP's in the MU settings. I had to manual add all my IP's to the list. Not a big deal, but I thought others might want to know.

Keep up the great work!

This option is there already :)

installed

Iam on shared server, dont have that much users 10-20 online...until now no any issues with too many processes on server
After installation of this hack my site went down cause of too many processes...after killing them everything was just fine
I tested this hack only with one user, my test user

Any suggestions

Nope, this doesnt create extra "processes".

Thank you very much.

We have a female user that really needs to be a little miserable :p

This is gonna' be fun!

I love this mod! I just installed it. I have a test user account that I added to the miserable group, when I logged in with this user I saw it in action.. GREAT! However... you say it's based on IP and username. Well, I went to log back into my admin account and all I got was "database error". I thought somehow my db got screwed up. I went into mysql and removed my test user account from the miserable group and whalla, I was able to log in again with my admin account. Looks to me that it only looks at IPs, not usernames. Is that possible?

I would love to be able to have a list of URLs to redirect to.. I've got a guy that's on the opposite political spectrum from me and I would love to send him to various (appears random) web sites of the opposite persuasion. :D Any tips on how this could be done instead of just one redirect URL?
.

tried it on my own account and it works like a dream - thanks

This is pretty much my all time favorite hack.

Thank you! :D

wow this is GODLY, thanks SO MUCH for creating this ! i have an annoying user on my buddhism site ! wow he can kiss goodbye

I disabled the Product but something seemed like it was still active. I checked the plugins and the Miserable User plugin was still active. Shouldnt that become disabled if the Product is disabled?

this is the best computer related invention since ascii porn and BOFH.

A unique mod indeed!

Installed (:

Installed! Tested this mod out on myself, and it's quite annoying..perfect :)

Thanks

I have an older version installed. Should I upgrade to this or are they the same?

No need to upgrade if the version you have is working fine for you.

Just brilliant, Thanks Paul

Thanks for mod, installed

TY:)

very awesome. thanks for updating this to the latest vB. installed. :D

Works real good, thanks. :)

Very nice mod, is there any way that a user will know they are on such a miserable user list? Or can you just tell them that it must be their computer?

If the user is somewhat savvy, you can't really blame it on the PC. However, you can shrug your shoulders and point out that nobody else has complained about connection issues. **snicker**

^ lol that's true. However I have been receiving some MYSQL Database issues after I installed this, looks like the user is having some trouble accessing the forums :D

Is this normal?

There are about 7 database errors all from the same user:

I wouldn't worry about it. ;)

Okay thanks :D I tried it out on myself and yes, it really does live up to its Miserable name. I was laughing my ass off :eek::D

I would guess you have a very small mysql timeout (smaller than your max MU delay setting) so sometimes the users connection is timing out.

* Thanks & Installed * :up:

I've many miserable User :( but this Add-On is perfect for these :)

thanksss evil works perfect

Why is the IP address
169.254.1.1
included in the default "Miserable IP addresses" section?

Also, why re-direct to index.php if my home page is index.html ?

Final question: is there a way to set up User Infractions so that Mods can simply move someone to the MU status, similar to laying an Instant Ban on a member? I was able to make it so that, say, at 50 points the person's permissions are made those of the MU category, but this does not kick in the MU delays and so on.
Maybe all that has to be done is modify a template so that under Add an Automatic Ban there is an option to move user to usergroup MU?

1. Its an example ip address, one that no one can have in reality - why ?

2. Change it then, thats the point of an option.

3. You would need to use the Automatic Ban Infraction - to make the usergroup visible in the dropdown list it must be a "bannable group" (usergroup option). I believe (untested) that once youve added it, you can remove the usergroups bannable status.

This is Cool !! I Annoyed A member who was spamming lol...
