[neverstop]

Hi Lynne, thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately serialized data is indeed over my head. Is there anyway i could just add a query in do=update at infraction_verify_permissions maybe? Like: UPDATE user SET credits = credits-1 WHERE userid = *the poster* Sorry if this is a stupid question, I can plug my way around VB sometimes but I am def not a programmer.

If not I will prob have to just post in the paid services forum

Ok so I have this kind of working. I added this plugin at infraction_update_complete:

PHP Code:

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET credits = credits-1 WHERE userid = $userinfo[userid]"); 


And it works like I want it to, it takes away one "credit" from the poster receiving the infraction.

Now to expland on it a bit I wanted to wrap the query in an if condition: if the post is in forumid x, y or z then take away the point, if in any other forum do nothing.

Can someone point me in the right direction to make this happen?
