404 error ban
 

This hack provides you with a new way of banning people from your forum, when needed you will be able to move members into a new usergrouped named '404ed users'.

When users are in this group they are unable to access the forums, instead they are sent a fake '404 file not found' error. This hack will also send spoofed 404 errors to banned ip's.

Installation requires you run one query on your database, which creates one new usergroup with the proper usergroupid (id 404). Also requires two file edits in two files. One file edit for /root/global.php, and one for /root/includes/functions.php.

ooo that sounds interesting, i may try it out ;)

I just want to make the website very.. very.. slow for them. Frustration is the name of my game!

Your probably want to search for the Port of the "Miserable Users" Hack then..

The miserable user hack ROCKS!!!! :nervous:

Can you just add the ID of your "banned" group without running a query on the DB? I don't really know too much about this, I don't want to create a new group, just have my banned group see the 404's.

Sounds like a cool hack, thanks. :)

pmpermissions_bak is not a value currently listed in the usergroup table. Can someone post an updated install file?

#1054 - Unknown column 'pmforwardmax' in 'field list'

or is default the banned group
