user banning problem
 

Hi i think this may be a feature in vb all ready but i cannot find it anywhere....... when me or one of my staff ban someone in the forum i want a post to be made in a selected forum of my choice the way it would when you would report a post or give an infraction to someone?

any ideas??

Thanks in advance

Just create an infraction type that will ban them - that's what I do.

Hi There, that is a great idea thanks, the only problem is that my normal infractions get a post in a certain thread and i wanted all banned members in there own thread, so if one of my staff was to ban someone using there CP it would automatically make a post in a required thread? by the sounds of it this isn't built in to vb, do you think i will need to check for a plugin for this??

The default style of infraction "reporting" is that each infraction gets a new thread.

Ok thanks for your patience, i haven't had much experience dealing with the infraction options.

Ok what i have done is : i have went in to the '' add new automatic ban'' menu, once in there i added a permanent ban option, choose to have it as infraction rather than points, , set the required level of points for this ban option and saved it, so were do i know enable it to post in the forum of my choice upon a ban, but a different forum from the one set for my normal infractions, in my CP??

hope this makes sense lol

Thanks

The same forum will be used for both infractions and bans. As technically, you are giving an infraction that will in turn create a ban.
