they have this mod linked on their front page! :D

Hell yes we do! We love it!

Give all your banned garbage NOM NOM NOM!

PS: Love the hack--many thanks!

PPS: check out our new banner -- http://www.theybannedme.com

I am curious to this as well.

thanks

we used to use something like this. I called it "the gay". I made a new banned usergroup with the title "got the gay". only that usergroup would get the redirect and we sent them to one of those Last Measure shock sites that pops up a million popups of gay porn while a voice scream "hey everyone I'm looking at gay porn". we would only use it on people who were attacking the website as a way to attack back.

it was fun for the nonbanned users becasue when they'd see an ass causing trouble & then all the sudden their title changed to "got the gay" they all knew what the user was seeing / hearing.

I've since stopped using it since the laws changed and it's now illegal to blindly link or forward people into porn. wasn't worth the possible legal headaches.

I'd reinstate it if I had a good site to use.

So Nice ..
thanks

Thanks for the mod I have been trying to find a way to keep those rats out lol.

I know, I am not being politically correct, but I just sent my banned users to http://www.specialolympics.org/athletes.aspx

"Be a Special Olympics Athlete"

that's kinda like a reverse spam isn't it? lol, banned spammers get spammed!!:D

So using 0 is immediate or would using 1 would be more immediate?

What happened to the download files?
Cant wait to get my hands on it.

absolutely brilliant
* marked as Installed *

I also have a forum link that I post in txt all spammed names and emails, for the spam bot to use and collect their email to spam them.

there is no download, just c/p the template edit.

read the instructions ;)

I modified it a little to send banned users to a different part of my site that still provides benefit to our site. BeFit4Free - Health and Fitness Forums

I changed the refresh to 5 seconds and made it where the banned users are forwarded to our link exchange directory. (Banned page)

The reason that members are typically banned from BeFit4Free.net is because they are submitting pharmacy links, erectile dysfunction stuff or nutritional supplements that we do not sell.

This way I still have a chance of getting a good link exchange from a related site, since we sell nutritional supplements.

this is such a funny mod lol i love it , some can't figure out whats going on lol

loving it :)

I had a dream that the guy that wrote this banned me from his site. Can you believe that? I was banned from they banned me. Wow.

Yes, it was only a dream but it felt so real.

May surprise you that I didn't write the mod although I did endorse it and link to it after I found out about it.

I did, however, get banned from your site... maybe your dream was some subconscious guilt? :D

lol nice

So I tried this redirect banned users refresh technique to send banned users to a "503 Server Unavailable" error page. We want the banned user to think the server is down and go away.

Here is the problem:

The full vBulletin page must load in your browser before the meta refresh redirect can happen, even if it is set to 0. (It doesn't matter if you move the meta refresh to the headinclude or header template.) Depending on the browser, connection, etc. a user can easily see the standard vBulletin "Banned" error message for a second just before they are redirected to the other page. They may also be able to pull the original error page up using the BACK button.

That's a big problem if you are trying to deter SEO and backlinks spammers, who are registering and posting by hand and will be registering multiple accounts anyway.

So I am trying a Javascript version of this same banned users redirect:


This uses Javascript to instantly change the url location via the location.replace function, but also includes the old meta refresh redirect in case the user has javascript disabled.

Since I'm not a Javascript expert, can someone else test this to see if the redirect is faster or tell me if there is a better Javascript call to do this url replacement with?

Great app man installed and i love it:) Im looking forward to more of your work.

Nice, thanks you :)

Cool!

Confirmed working on vB 4.0.0 if you use a replacement variable - <head>

Where do I have to add <head> or do i have to replace something?

thnks..

is not work

how does this work for vb4?

Edit* don;t worry figured it out

how would you add more than one usergroup ?

using a comma produces a syntax error

Hi would you or someone like to share waht you did to get this working?

Yes please share...

Steve1966 I guess no one wants to share how they got it to work with us

It seems that http://www.theybannedme.com/ has been down for more than a week now and is broken. The current downtime message says :

There is a new update working VB4

enjoy:D

I want to hide names banned user from the Who's Online !! :(

For anyone still using this mod, you may direct banned users to my site as theybannedme.com no longer exists. Site link is in my signature.

For anyone still using this mod, you may direct banned users to my site as theybannedme.com no longer exists. Site link is in my signature.

There is a way to do this, if I may post this here.

In your .htaccess file at the VERY TOP, place this:

# The following is IP deadbanning, it redirects if the IP matches
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^11\.111\.111\.111$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^111\.11\.111\.111$
RewriteRule .* http://banned.ytmnd.com/ [R=301,L]

Of course replace the 1's with the IP Addresses you'd like to use. (And those ones are a fake IP btw)

You may also replace the website as well, if you'd like.

Then if you want to add more, just copy & paste the following line:

"RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^111\.11\.111\.111$"

You want the last line to always be WITHOUT [OR]

Any line above that should contain that [OR] statement for new bans.


Hope this helps.

that was funny!

thanks for this !
I redirect to

Works good.
