Thanks for the great hack Zero Tolerance,
Nice additions sv1cec.
We had a custom warnhack in Ikonboard and we have a bit of experience in using it (unfortunately).
The purpose of a warning system should of course be to correct a person when he causes troubles in the forums (sometimes just a friendly PM doesn't stop it and a complete ban isn't justified). Our floodsystem was linked to the amount of warnings. 1 warning added say 30 seconds, 2 warnings added 2^2 * 30 seconds, 3 added 3^2 * 30 seconds and so on (admin could set this to 60 as well). The extra flood was a pretty motivation to get back in line.
There's another thing: users posting a bait and removing the evidence once a few others took it and replied with a counter, then acting as the attacked innocent victim. Users who have 2 warnings can't edit their posts anymore.
I like this auto ban and it fits in nicely. I too feel that 2 auto ban types are nice.
