If you have a question I'll do my best to answer it.

Excellent Modification , thanks a lot.

You can add option thread Auto Close?

great idea, but I want to only create one thread and the next user banning will be comment in the topic, how to edit?

Yes also add option banned member Thread ID !

This mod has selected Thread ID?

I can on a future update but that may be a while.

For now you can edit the XML file.

Find the line:

And add below it:


And all threads will be closed. (Re-import the product of course, allow overwrite = yes)

Maybe in a future version, just not possible as it is now coded.

I don't understand... You want to make posts instead of threads in a specific thread? If so same answer as above.

wrong mod my bad.

It gives me an error while i click ban user the error is this

altough i have selected no to Show Signature? in New Thread on Banning by BOP5 options any help?

it appears to be an incompatibility with dbTech's vbsignatures mod.

I would suggest disabling my mod- I do not have dbtech's mod installed anywhere to test and frankly do not see having time anytime soon to figure out what the conflict is.

Sorry.

i like it, please update :)

Installed on VB 4.2 seems to be working fine. Great mod -- thanks BOP5!

Installed, thanks

Think I found a bug.

If I select three threads created by one spammer, for example, it will make three threads about the same user.

Here's what I did if you want to try and reproduce it:

• Select two or more threads by the same user and delete them as spam
• Select Delete other posts and threads started by the affected users
• Select Physically remove
• Select Ban these users under Punitive Actions
• Proceed

I can't replicate this on my 4.2.1 forum. I only get 1 thread created no matter how many are selected. Do you have any other modifications running on the userdata_postsave hook? You can check in Plugin Manager in Admin CP.

So I found this happening even when it's completely different users.

For example:

• User 1
• User 2
• User 3
• User 4
• User 5

If I deleted their spam all at once instead of individually (the only way I can prevent this from happening is by doing it individually), I would see five threads all pointing to the first user in the lineup instead of each individual user:

• Banned User 1
• Banned User 1
• Banned User 1
• Banned User 1
• Banned User 1

(That's what I set the thread title as.)

Plugins:

Ahhh... Well that error I understand why i is happening. Unfortunately I can think of no fix for it. Just the way VB determines the most recently banned user.

While it can't be fixed, out of curiosity, why is it happening?

Well vBulletin doesn't have a hook that runs only when a user is banned. The hook this mod runs on is anytime a usergroup is changed. In order to determine if a user was actually banned the mod checks if anyone was banned in the last several seconds and if so assumes that it should make a thread about that ban. To prevent errors it only returns the oldest ban even if several happened at nearly the same time. Yours is the first report I ever had of a flaw with this system.

Another great idea...BOP5, you are consistent....:up:

Nice idea, thank you

I've added the patch Turkish

Any news of an update for this? If it would create only one thread with each banning or suspension being added to the thread I can see it being very useful and I'd install it in an instant. One thread per ban is just too much to deal with.

thank you eTİKeT hocam.. :)

Hi Birdofprey5, thank you for this fantastic mod. It has stopped working for me on VB 4.2.5. I get a message that a new thread cannot be created, after I ban a user in /admincp/. Any ideas how to fix this please?

Did anything change between the time it last worked and the time you noticed it stopped working? VB Version? PHP version? Server change? Added or removed new forums or administrators?

Without much to go on or the exact error message I would suggest you verify the user who makes the post still have permission to post in the forum selected for the post to be made in, and that that forum is open to new posts.

Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it.

No changes to users. The admin user is the one doing the banning and no permissions have changed so I don't think it is related to permissions. Nothing shows up in the PHP error logs.

I did upgrade to PHP 7.1 and moved servers around the time this plugin stopped working, so those might be the factors. I am on VB 4.2.5. Not sure how to resolve this. I get a message when I try to ban a user, in white text at the top of the admincp screen, "Error creating new thread!". Any ideas where to look to find the source of the error, please?
