It still is better because it takes some time for them to figure it out, when you ban someone they know they are banned immediatly as soon as they come on but with a dummy flag it takes them a while.

I agree about the logging out thing...

But it doesn't have an impact, they won't realise immediately. It slows down the process of banned visitors more difficult for them.

I'd still *love* to see this hack :)

this is a great hack. The user wont find out especially if you have to register to see anything on my forums anyway :D


I actually think the person would just think people are ignoring him, and they wil eventually leave, I dont think someone would say, hmm no one is saying anything about my posts, and automatically log out to see if they can see stuff...


They will only do that if the admins or mods tell their users they installing a hack like this

The hack is almost done. :)
I'll publish it after I got some sleep and after I sorted out the last missing things. :)

I lub j00!

:p

To fix the unregistered problem, simply have the user also ignored to guests.

One of my mods requested a tool for mods that would do the following:

The mod tool would be the ability to put folks in eachothers ignore lists. Mods in a forum would have a screen with two or more boxes. The tool could be set up with three scenarios:

1) Two posters set to ignore eachother
2) All listed posters set to ignore a specific poster
3) A specific poster set to ignore all listed posters

Just some food for thought...We all know that banning by IP only works for about a day or two...

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to stop mods from being ignored?

This will be a sweet hack!

I just need to throw together an admin tool to control the ignore status and then the whole thing is ready for beta. :)

Beta released: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=33394 :)
Just let me know what's missing and I'll add it. :)

I think I may have been the originator of this idea. Was this ever done? Here is my post from last February: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...&threadid=8942
