you can ban them using the tachy goes to coventry option

doen't that just add them to everyone's ignore list? Thats not what i'm trying to acomplish. I want the user to suffer when posting from a particular IP address, possibly forcing them to try & login with their other account.

Paul M, can we add multiple usergroup ID to the Miserable Users input field seperated by a space or comma?
Ex: 2, 13, 7
A few people seem to she interest in this. The thing is, i have 3 user groups (New, Adv, Vet) & each group has a different color display. if I throw people from various user groups into the Miserable group, they are going notice that their user color changed.

I suspect you probably can, given the vb function it uses.

I just tried & it won't allow you to save it.
I entered [2, 13] and after saving, the ', 13' was truncated
I also tried using a space & got the same result, so I asume the plugin code would have to be modified.

That would be truncated by sql itself, not by vbulletin.

What's happening is you're trying to insert a string into a field that is meant for an integer. The sql parsing engine will accept the 1 and the 3 but as soon as it gets to the coma, it says "Whoops!" and tosses the rest out.

The only real solution to what you're trying to do methinks is to use a secondary usergroup.

Ah, the verification on the ACP setting field is set to numeric, you would need turn on debug mode and edit the ACP setting to change this.

Secondary usergroup did the trick.
Thanks

Paul M, maybe you can consider that for the next upgrade.

Thanks for this, Seems more were signing up to spam then to help.
Time to have a bit of fun now.

Clicks Install

Using 3.5.0 gold
I imported it as a product and created the usergroup.
It shows up in Installed products but not in VB options.
What am I missing?

Nothing, it's a standard part of product import to import the settings, are you sure they are not there ?
