you need to find where the select statement happens to get the list of threads (probably in functions.php or forumdisplay.php)...and make sure that in the join to the threadstarter...their usergroupid is included in the query...and if the usergroup id belongs to that user...exclude that thread...

Problem is...it will still show up in searches...and view new posts and today's posts etc...

But to fix that u just go with the same concept...except in search.php instead...

Hope this helps...

Basically I am using this to ban people who create accounts with the sole intent to send libelous comments. I need any threads that they have created to disappear so I have been trying to do what you are saying. I understand that basically you do the same hacks as in newreply.php, but in another file so that the threads will disappear, but I can't seem to find it. I just don't know the internal system enough for that. Does anyone know where to call the query for the permissions to view threads?
