Also, would their be anyway to automatically add a user to the Miserable group if say a preset number of people added that person to their ignore list?

soo evil, i luv it!

Already noted previously. It will come when I have time to look at an update. :)

Yeah! That funcionality would make this hack totally PERFECT. I'll wait impatiently.
Thanks Paul for your support

This is just the most hilarious but best idea i've ever seen here in vBulletin.org!

I love this hack!

Thank you. The original idea was not mine, but I liked it so much I did this 3.5 version :)

Awesome idea from the person who came up witht he original plan and to everyone else to who's updated it over the years.

*Clicks install*

Okay, I had a bit of time tonight, so I have added two of the requested functions.

1. Define miserable IP addresses.

2. Allow multiple miserable usergroups.

Both are in v2.03 uploaded tonight. To upgrade simply import as a product with overwrite set to 'yes'.

(note, if you have the older plugin only version, delete the plugin first).

You are THE MAN! :D

just installed and noticed a pre-filled blocked IP addy: 169.254.1.1?

Yes, it's an example.

i installed and tested it on a mod but i dont think he noticed yet lol

oops.

hahaha, I had new cable internet installed today and forgot I had IE setup with my forum as the homepage and my test account in the miserable group that was logged in. The cable tech thought something wrong with my modem :D

LMAO. Thank you!

It's perfect, thank you :)

I just don't get it what this hack do. O.o

Try reading the first post - it's clearly explained.

Anyone notice this hack adding to server load levels even when no user is defined as a miserable user?

Nope.

Very little of it would actually run if you don't have anyone defined.

....

Love it, works great on a test account, i cant wait to try it on late night drunken posters Paul you are top :banana:

Haha, what a funny hack. Not sure if banning the user would benefit me better than this. I'll think about it, haha.

I love this hack it is much funner thatn banning.. :nervous:

*donwloads update* Thanks again Paul.

My story: Some kid was annoying me that runs abother board. So I used this on him, and hes like dudee I can;t log in. I was like hmm no one else is having hte problem. Well I unbannedh im and he was like oh it worked.

Never had a clue. :)

Simply Brilliant! Thanks for this :)

Very nice! I know exactly who I want to use this on on my website! Hillarious and very smart too! :D

works great!!

Hi, how do i install this software twice?

its just it has a redirect thing, which is good, if you know download places have them, like fileshack.com fileplanet.com?

if you know what i mean, or is tehre a hack like this?..

where you go to a page, but it will bring up an advertisment page, and you click, skip or click on the advert, and it redirect you?..

Huh ?

You can't install it twice. I don't understand the rest, but it doesn't sound related to the hack.

because the hack as n option to bring up /index.php page every so often, www.fileplanet.com open brings up n advert page, where you can click the advers or click skip...?? could ya do this?

That's not the point of this hack. Besides that, dont' we see enough ads every minute of the day that we are awake already? :disappointed:

its not often =-/ its like once every day...

A former Admin installed this without the prior approval of the rest of the Admins. By a majority vote, we would like to remove Miserable Users.

Question: Will this uninstall cleanly? If so, how do we do it?

It seemed to uninstall cleanly for me.

So, do I just go to Plug-In System > Manage Products and then choose delete for the Miserable Users?

(I'm relatively new to the vBulletin ACP.)

No, you go into the product manager and choose uninstall in it's options.

In theory you could use it to just randomly send you to a page by setting all the other options to zero, but I think your users might get pissed off very quickly if they try and post something and get redirected instead.

Thank you, Paul.

it might be useful.. wolfegar, if you have annoying people, u can use this..
