Say your an admin, your browsing the board and see a member is getting out of hand, say for example someone named Jim_Boohuckle (dont ask, no idea, made it up). He is posting a little too much, doubleposting and posting with no content. You want to give him a simple warning.

Well, I dunno how u hackmasters would do it, but can u make it so a little box comes up (NOT AN IE EXPLORER ONE) and just says like "WARNING From Administrator: You need to post better or you will be suspended". Or something like that. u can customize the text. Maybe even have ur own little cp section. that would make being an admin much easier, also u can temp. suspend and stuff for aprox. 1 hour (i dunno about that, just my mind is running wild). anyway....:D

Maybe this will help you:

[vB v2.2.0] vB Popup Messaging Utility
in combination with
[vB v2.2.1] PM+Email Warning For User

But I like the idea of having a little CP for managing all that warning stuff in one place.

Heck, I love the idea! You could have a suspension option, the already-in-place ban option, a popup option, and a list of the top posters per hour (near the bottom of the page) so you could check up on those who are posting too much in a time period to not be malicous. It would just have the name of the user (which links to their profile) their ip, their email (which is a mailto:), a "pm user" option, and their # of posts/hour. Then you copy the name and paste it in the popup name box along with the message, click send. Or, if they are offline, you could click the email/pm button to email them/pm them, Or if you want to suspend or ban them, you copy and paste the ip into the appropriate area.

perhaps this is too much for a hack... but would work fantasmically in the next vb version.

that is MY mind running wild!
