Stop A Member "Reporting" Posts

Not sure if this is possible, but has anyone ever come across a facility that removes a member's ability to report a post ?

I've got one member who persistantly keeps reporting posts - and whilst his posting is of contributable use to the board, his constant reporting is annoying my Moderators.

I've got M-User - but to be honest, that's a little extreme - is there anything anyone knows of ?

Cheers

Are his reports legit or bogus?
I assume you already tried talking to him?
Already tried giving warning/infraction if he abuses the report system?

That's the problem Marco - his reports are both legit and "troll" like. The stage the mods are just now, is that they tend to ignore them, and that means more work for me.

We've all spoken to him, but in his "world" all his reports are legit !

To infract him is maybe a little too extreme - he's a useful member outwith his abuse of the reporting facility...

If you take away his ability to Report Posts, don't you think he will notice this and make a stink?

just make a forum announcement, new rule: 1 report max per day unless being harassed or otherwise personally insulted... or similar.

Nexialys,

More with over-active reporters. Or the opposite: People complaining in threads, but never bring it to staff attention by reporting it.

Untested, but try the following plugin (how to add a plugin):

Code:

Product: whatever you want

Hook Location: report_start

Title: whatever you want

Execution Order: 5 is okay

Plugin PHP Code:



// replace X with user's id



if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == X)

{

        print_no_permission();

}



Plugin is Active: Yes

Hi There...

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner !

The Report Abuser has got to a level that he is reporting up to 200 per month, so I've had to be a bit more drastic.

The plug in method didn't work, so I went about it in a different way.

In the report.php file on the server, I added (in bold)..

Find the first if(!$vbulletin->userinfo which is after the start of the main script part of the code then add the bit in bold....

Quote:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == XX)
{
print_no_permission();
}

XX for the userid.

Drastic I know, but, it works....

Thanks for the plugin calorie. I got some relief from a much overenthusiastic post reporter.
