No, is does not use a lot of resources - however, you should not really use this for what you want, thats not what it was designed for.

The page or url that members will be re-direct to by the above option. DO NOT redirect to another page within the forum as this will set up a potential loop.

would this be a valid url ?

http://www.google.com

Yes.

Too funny!
Installed, nominated and donated. Thanks for a great mod!:)

(vBulletin Oprions > You spelled Options wrong.. :)

Just a typo ;)

Brilliant. I hate banning people because it just opens up a can of worms. It's so "authoritarian" and other users get up in arms about people getting banned, this is the perfect solution.

No, we didn't ban anyone, they must be having problems on their end because everything works fine here.

Installed, great work!!

xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy-zzz is that a correct IP range for this mod?

No, that wont work.

:) Lovely work. Tested and working fine.
Rated and marked installed.

thank you very useful

AWESOME MOD!

works 5/5 on vb 4.0.5

Sorry to ask this, but it seems I've locked myself out of my forum with this mod. Is there anyway to change the settings here without logging into my forum? Yes, I know I'm an idiot.

Nope.

You will need to disable your plugins via the vb config file if you cannot get into the ACP.

Excellent, been using this long way back........thank you very much for the vb4 version!

I love this mod. However I seem to have come across a glitch of some kind. I used it for the first time a few days ago. Yesterday I put the user back as a registered user. But he is still having access issues. It seems that he is still being treated as a miserable user and all of the consequences of that are still in place.

Is there something I need to do to fix this?

Thanks

I think I figured out what I did. I had added the IP addy to the controls and had changed the usergroup, but hadnt deleted the IP addy.

sorry.

Works great on vB 4.0.7 ;-)

may I request for additional features ?

is it possible to revert to original usergroup after a period of time eg 3 hours ?

Now that would be an excellent feature indeed. A timed period of miserableness!! Excellent idea if it could be done.

Absolutely wonderful!
Thanks a lot!

As always Paul, nice work

Installed 4.1 PL2

its making my total user group feeling miserable
even if i insert one ip ,than the total usergroup is getting pissed rofl

I had to disable the plug-in as it was slowing down my site for everyone. Looks like it was getting hung up on cron.php.

This has no connection with cron.php

Hey Paul, Thank you for this hack.

Can I try to install it on a 4.1.1 version by editing <dependencies> in the xml file ?

It should already install on 4.1.1

Thank you Paul,

I installed it after changing "dependencies" line in the xml file =)

As I posted above you, there is no need to change the dependancies.

Probably using an older version. Mine too cuts off at 4.0.99. Time to upgrade!

It was updated for 4.1 at the start of December - all that changed was the dependancies. :)

How do I revert a user group a change? for example banned > miserable, back to banned?

Um, I dont really understand.

You change a members usergroup in the ACP, but Im guessing you know that, so Im lost as to what you are asking.

I accidently moved the whole member user group to miseriable. is there a sql query i can execute to reverse this?

Great mod!

Working in 4.1.2 great.

Thank you!

Never seen this before now but truly a great idea, and yes funny as hell! Why ban then when you can torment them first, fantastic!

Very useful addition .. thanks.
Working on 4.1.2

LOL this is awesome!

Not as much as you might think. Unlike a few years ago, these days most people have access to multiple computers, so victims are finding out pretty quickly that something has been done to them. They'll start complaining about being banned and we end up thinking we probably just should have done that in the first place.

I'm not uninstalling it, I'm just saying it's not nearly as effective as it may have been in the recent past.

god I missed this add on

It's all in how you use something ;).
