It worked great for me, even got one of my admins and a supermod as well. Over 80 people did it.

The mod worked well, my members didn't... The first couple figured something was up so they entered their own name, or other stuff like "April Fools" and got banned... then I got the first one to get banned to try to convince a few others to "get revenge" for him, so that got a few. But overall, most users were upset at the idea they might get banned for no reason and started getting upset.

People take the internet WAAAAY to seriously. Anyways, thanks for a great mod and I can't wait to see what you think of next year.

I think it really depends on how you present it. I made a post, stickied it, and added BAN THIS USER under everyone's post counts.

Here's my thread with all the replies: http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=53167

Here's my initial post (I have the [you] mod installed also so that converts to their username):

So, a good portion of members including [you] have been given user banning rights. Hopefully they will use it properly and not go overboard, but we'll see. If it doesn't work out, we'll change back and find some new moderators.

www.x-h2o.com/ban.php should be accessible to you if you have this permission and there is a link under each person's avatar.

However, there is an issue when I am trying to unban them.

When they get 'banned', their primary group just gets changed to "COPPA users awaiting moderation", but when I search for users in that usergroup, it says there aren't any in there.

So I just can't go an unban them all easily. I now have to get them to report to me that they were banned. :s which is a pain cos there are some hundred+ ppl

Is there something I am missing? How can I mass-unban everyone?

I am having the same issue and I don't remember even installing this mod. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Nice... I made some edits... changed it actually ban from 10 to 120 MINUTES (although it still says "Days" so if someone bans someone for 30 days it really becomes 30 minutes... should keep anyone from being annoyed too much.

Even when the "fun" is over I think I'll keep it for people who feel the need to ban themselves, like a self imposed "cool off" period.

Thanks :up:

In the .php file find the line:

PHP Code:


		
			
$liftdate = TIMENOW + (86400 * $days);

86400 is the number of seconds in 1 day (60 * 60 * 24)... Change it to the number of seconds in one minute (60) to make the ban in minutes rather than days.

Just keep in mind the scheduled task that unbans people I think runs only once every hour by default so a "5 minute" ban will last until the scheduled task runs after the ban is up.

I would absolutely love this if it could be updated for vBulletin 4.x.

Yes, I'm already planning how to screw with my users next year. I'm a mean-spirited guy, what can I say? :p

What if we were to move the user to a group that isn't a banned group? Would this still move them back when time's up or manually via the page?

No.
