When a moderator bans a user, the user's title does not change automatically to reflect his new banned status. This hack fixes that.

Edit: For those who downloaded it before this update, when it says look for the first string, it should be the SECOND appearance of this string! Sorry for the confusion.

nice :)

gonna be installing this later tonight. thanks man :)

great job :up:

very useful~~:D

nice hack :) gonna install it later.

Great hack, gonna install it soon.

Great hack !! but ?

So far I only have been able to find banning options in the admin control panel that lets me ban the IP address or an E-mail address.

How does one ban the actual username (login name) ??? where can in find that option ?

Great hack. Thank you!

I'm curious for this, too. Right now any 'banned' members of mine are in a special User Group and that fixes their title automatically. I set their group so they couldn't see the board, use pm's or anything. Basically, they are like 'guests'.

How does one go about actually 'banning' a member without changing their usergroup?

well mods have a control panel in that panel they can search names then have option to ban the name as a mod cant ban emails or ips only names

If I wanted to make it more obvious he was banned, what would I change in the hack? IE: change his username to *BANNED* and his custom title to "This user is history." :D

Not working for me :(

Yes I installed; and it isnt working - I just had to put it to the test by banning our first spammer... It didn't work. :supwink:

I'm interested in the progress of this hack and how exactly it works and goes about changing such info. Has anyone got it running?

I installed, but as I said it doesn't actually work

Excellent ... installed on 2.2.2 no problems

Got to remember this is a moderator hack... I banned about 10 folks with it very quickly... worked every time.

DOH! how stupid of me ..

http://www.website.com/forum/mod/ for the moderators control panel .. how stupid of me to overlook that :) I thought the mod/ dir was like ' module ' or ' mods '(adjustments) ghe ghe ghe .:)

Well I don't follow... does it work? If it does, how does it ban members?

doesn't work for me...

It doesn't ban members... You or the moderators have to ban them as usual. However, when a moderator bans a user, his title does not normally change to "Banned", unless you install this hack.
