How Do I Temporarily Ban?
 

I have figured out that I can automatically "promote" someone with a low reputation to a banned usergroup. But is there a way to automatically let them out of the penalty box after so many days?

Thanks

Admin CP > Users > Ban User >

Username =

Move User Group To =

Lift Ban After = Select From Drop Down Menu

Reason to show the user

Hope i helped!

Thanks. I knew I could do it for individual users. But is there a way I can have it go completely automatically. When a user reaches -20 reputation points, he is automatically moved to the penalty box for seven days and then automatically moved back into the general population after that time? I'd really prefer not to have to do it one at a time.

im not sure, contact Vbulletin i just got vb on wednesday so im still gettin used to it only ever been mods on them..

you can do it if a user reaches like 10 infraction points then he/she is automaticly banned

Of course there is a way. ;) However, that functionality is not in a default installation of vBulletin, so you will have to find a modification that does this, create your own, or hire someone to do it.
