This is true accept for one scenario, and that's when the member is banned using One Touch Ban & Clean. For some reason it will not create a thread, and I'm a little stumped as to why. :confused:

Is One Touch Ban & Clean a mod? It does work if you use the built in "Delete as Spam" function and choose to ban the user at the same time.

Sorry for not being clear, Joe.

Yes, it's this mod. With 4 million members on our site the OTB&C mod makes this task quite a bit faster for us because it deletes PM's and a bunch of other things as well. Sadly, the coder passed away in a diving accident.

I see it now. It looks like the "One Step" mod does the query to ban itself rather than calling the existing vBulletin banning code- as a result the hook my mod uses is never called so my code never runs...

Offhand I don't see a simple fix unfortunately.

Sounds good and thanks for looking at it. I'll just need to train the mods to do a points based auto-ban infraction and then the OTB&C. Even though it's a 2-step process it's still a lot faster than the alternative.

It is possible to add two options in the future?

1. Reply to the same topic if the user is unbanned

2. Choice of the ban specific usergroups

Thanks, I will try. Can you explain #2 more?

Default banned usergroup ID 8 but several forums have more similar banned usergroups like this (Read only, Full ban, and other specific groups) or different ID for default banned usergroup. It requires one extra option which you must specify the ID of banned usergroups.

Yes, I can do that... it will be in the next update.

Not sure if this is of interest to anybody, but this is how I've configured ours:

Any ideas on how to list/add details for infraction history without going into the Admin panel or the profile infractions tab? I'm going to play with it today, and see if I can figure it out.

BTW - here are the details I would like to add. I do not mind sharing this screenshot. Everyone should be on the lookout for anyone coming from the bugmenot domain. Shared logins = bad.

Infraction info is stored separately then the banning and user info, there is no easy way to pull that info with this mod.

Yeah that was sort of what I determined as well. Thanks for your input :)

Just a heads up - we discovered a bug where banning multiple members using vBulletin's delete posts as Spam feature triggers multiple threads, but does so under a single username. For example in the following picture banning all 4 members at once would have created 4 duplicate threads, but the same name would have been shown for each member being banned, vs. each of the member names -- as demonstrated in the second image:

Note the username shown in the second pic is not shown in the first pic. This is due to the fact that I had to snap two different screenshots to illustrate the point.

On a board of our size, it's sometimes necessary to use the delete as spam because it can ban multiple members at once, and because of the added functionality it offers of deleting all posts and threads from the affected members.

------------------

On an unrelated note -- cookie stuffing is back. Be on the lookout for broken images in a post. When a newer member has a small number of posts, you might find that there is weird link wrapped in [img] tags. The browser tries to resolve the link and in the process downloads a file from the site (usually a gif or php) stuffed with cookies containing affiliate ID's. The nasty part is that these cookies are downloaded onto the members computer, and unless they are deleted -- every purchase made on the site with the affiliate ID in the cookie is credited toward the person who planted it there. Most are Amazon and Ebay links. Very shady and morally wrong. That's more of a tip, but I thought I'd mention it since I was on the topic of Spam. Also, note that Firefox does not display broken images, which makes it kind of tricky to spot them. Most of the time you can edit the gif file in a text editor for further proof.

Hi Joe, i've changed the vb phrase "Never" for my forums, is it possible to replace it in your mod?, what i mean is if the ban lift time is "never" then display a custom message or actually "Never"

Doh!, should look more closely, never mind, i've done it :)

Nice mod.
Would it be possible to implement thread prefix into this somehow?

How do I make this work only for permanent bans? Also is there any easy way to include the registration date and postcount of the banned member in the thread title and/or body?

I can confirm this bug. When banning multiple members through the delete posts as spam function (be it in forumdisplay.php or showthread.php) the number of ban threads is correct but they are all duplicated. Could you please fix this?

Please don't report posts asking for bug fixes, that isn't what the report post system is there for.

I am sorry but I have no plans on fixing this issue. I've used the mod for years without running into the bug so it just isn't a pressing issue.
