I installed it on 3.7.0, and it worked, but I had to remove it. It required a login to the modcp in order to complete the ban. I think a better solution is to just require a password like they do when you ban a user after selecting "delete post as spam" in the moderation drop-down list in showthread. Also, it seemed to me like a moderator could select an administrator and click ban, so some additional permissions on this functionality to map an "exclude usergroup"-list for certain usergroups; i.e. exclude administrators from moderators ban permissions, so hide the ban-button if I've defined it. I am assuming this would be prevented in the modcp itself that it logs into, but I couldn't log onto the modcp for some reason (probably something with the configuration of my server), so I never got to try it. So, my suggestions:
- quick ban user without logging onto modcp
- permissions to protect certain usergroups from other usergroups
And finally:
- rework the UI to show the buttons in a different place, like in the right side panel, or below the left and right panel, in its own space
Doing that, and it's be an AWESOME mod! There's so much banning to be done these days, anything to speed it up is most appreciated.
