I just came from vb.com since something I figured would be simple, turned out to be a bit more complicated:

So I added a new setting, and called it rp_exclude_forum

Then I changed the if statement to look like this:

 
<if condition="$GLOBALS[forumid] != $vbulletin->options['rp_exclude_forum']">

However, that didn't work. I assume I'm not doing it the right way?

<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], $array_var)">

You can use a plugin to populate the array. If you have some coding ability then you can post on www.vbulletin.org for help with this.

So I decided to tackle it on my own and here's what I got so far:

Edited postbit_legacy and put the following around the report a post link:

<if condition="$show['reportlink']">
<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], $exclude_forum_report)">
<a href="report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a></if>
</if>

Made a plugin, triggered on global start, with the following code:

$exclude_forum_report = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['rp_exclude_forum']);

This doesn't work, and I'm stumped.

Now at this point I'm not sure what I'm doing, or if the plugin code or hook is correct.
