One Touch Ban & Clean-up
 

One Touch Ban & Clean-up
(Best wishes to mfyvie's family)


This is, at it's core, just a port of this mod. But I may add new features later on.

The main purpose of this mod is to clean up after a spammer. With a minimum of fuss it will:

• Delete all threads started by the spammer
• Delete all posts made by the spammer
• Delete all PMs sent to other members by the spammer
• Delete all calendar events made by the spammer
• Ban or delete the spammer as you like
• Ignore permissions - posts can be deleted in areas that a moderator may not have access to.

The option to activate this tool appears in the drop-down menu in the postbit, as well as on the profile page. From here it is a "one-touch" operation, with the small exception that you must press a confirmation button before the cleanup is made.


See the screenshot for the various options, but some of the more interesting ones are:

• You can specify individual users (in addition to groups) who can use this tool. This means certain trusted, non-moderator users could have the ability to clean up spam and ban spammers.
• You can specify users or groups who are protected - they cannot be deleted by this tool.
• By default, users who have registered more than 30 days ago are also protected from this tool (spammers tend to be caught and removed fairly soon after registration)
• You can turn the various deletion targets (threads, posts, events, PMs) on or off
• Select between hard delete or soft delete

This mod is similar to some older mods, but improved in a number of ways:

• You also have the choice to alter the standard ban and delete reasons before you press confirm.
• Deletes more types of spam (PMs, events)
• Simple, quick, effective
• Single file import (.xml) no file edits, no template edits, no .php files to upload
• Should work on all versions of 3.6.x and future versions

Installation

Download and import the .xml file via AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Remember to click overwrite if upgrading

Configuration

Once installed, check in your AdminCP under "VBulletin settings" and look for the configuration group called "One-touch Spam Ban & Cleanup Options". The default options should be fine for most people.

How to use

If you have rights to use this tool (i.e. are an admin or moderator, or have configured it for the relevant user or group ID) you should see the option appear in a drop-down on the postbit (see attached screenshots for an example). The idea is that as soon as you see a spammer select the "One-touch Ban & Clean" option to remove all trace of the spammer.

*install button power click* O__________O

Awesome is an understatement. You just made my moderators very happy! Nice mod!

Great addon thank you

This so saves me 5 minutes of my life!

Installed and nominated. B)

This was the mod I've been waiting for, thanks!

Twilkey did you receive permission from Mark's brother r5e?

Any chance you could add a profile link to one touch a user also? Thanks a lot for the mod anyway I love it :D

Any chance you can add Blog support? I have SPAMMERS that only hit the blogs and nothing else and being able to suspend their account from there as well would be huge for me.

Thanx

Can you make a one-touch merge mod? Just highlight a member's many aliases so you can merge them all into one account at the same time?

This messed up my forum in a few places...

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: postbit_onetouchban in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4161

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1307) : eval()'d code on line 117

and the option to ban doesn't exist for me either.

Uninstalling for now.

Ok people, i just pmed TheLastSuperman and so i believe this thread will be closed or deleted. I have no way to contact the original creators family to get permission, so i will be recoding this from scratch and adding more features.

Keep an eye out, the name wont be completely different.

Modification restored - Twilkey has permission from PHPKD who was given current ownership of the modification.

Nice

This error occurs when clicking on last post link in user profile page

If you can get this mod working, I will certainly use it.

Tagged for now... I loved this mod on vb3.x.x would love to have it on my vb4 now.

not working vb 4.0.3 :p

Same thing here:
Error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1315) : eval()'d code on line 132

Nice mod if it worked running Ver. 4.15

Ok people, I will try an look in to your issues but I am still recreating this so that I may easily add new features. If anyone gets an error and finds a fix for it, let me know and I will add it and reupload the file.

Would love to use this plugin then... But, also getting the error:
I'll disable it for now, patiently awaiting an updated version. :)

EDIT: Was installed on vBulletin 4.1.6

Also getting the same error. Would love to install
4.1.5

Ok, I have uploaded a new version that should fix the warning you guys have gotten.

Just downloaded and tried it, appears to be working fine.. xD 4.1.6 vBulletin.. thanks!
marked as installed.. xD

Installed :) works great.

Brill - installed - thanks :)

Can you tell me if this will also remove all information in the users signature/profile/user's homepage space since links are usually posted here by the spammer if they get banned?

What this removes is listed in the OP. I do however plan to expand on this and have it remove everything.

installed thanks

thanks for your help.

My #1 problem now is spammers that register and send a Visitor Message to themselves and that's all that they do. There is no quick-ban tool that I can see to clean this up - there is no pop-up window to show the ban button.

*** Actually, I see your code. I simply cut-and-paste the user # from the memberlist into the new URL. Once you get a rhythm down you can get maybe 6 done per minute, that's not too bad.

Would be nice to add it into the Admin CP for users. Many register for sleeper accounts and are a pain to still ban. I have auto moderation on so their post never makes it to the forum however it's a pain to ban them still. Could you something into either the User Profile or to the admin cp?

Great Add on , I love it. Great work

cool mod..
marked installed and for MOTM!

I just uploaded a new version of the file. The only change was the addition to the description of the product. I added the original creators name (Mark Fyvie) after his brother requested it.

Thanks Twilkey. Mod installed :)

This is going to save a LOT of time... Thank you.

- A

Thanks Twilkey.

any plans to include blog/blog comments and article/article comments into the cleanup ?

I see an update but there isn't any change log.
Can you add a change log, please?
