Hello,
I used Zero Toleranes hack and modified the template a bit in 3.03. After upgrading to 3.07 I needed to reinstall a warning system. I was very happy with Zero Tolerances groundwork, it was well thought out, worked neat and was having a lot of potential for new features. AWS is a very worthy successor, so that was what I used on 3.07.
I did install 3.2 on a testboard and could easily modify some bits in the template (I'm not a coder, nor comfortable yet with the ins and outs of vb). Before I could install to the production board, there was a new version. I installed that one, and updated it with some others releases (I believe I'm using 3.4.2 now). I did some tweaks, not only template but also some PHP files (I threw away what I don't use, added a warning related flood).
Our board has some moderators, lately the language and attitude decreased a bit and we were pondering again to use the automated censor thing (we personally are also a bit scary about such stuff). Quite possible that I broke it by omitting bits of code, but it didn't work properly. We also ran into something else: a user who was banned for the first time, immediatly got banned again after receiving a zero point warning. Odd. It took some hours to upgrade to the latest version (3.4.13 it was back then). The censor thing worked correctly, but the ban feature/bug was still there. I realize what a huge hack it is and constantly updating it must be a pain for you. But also for guys like me who modify it a bit.
I'm biased as we'll upgrade to 3.5. So, AWS for 3.5 is what I really want. And actually, a basic one would be great for us. Say 3.4.2 without the automated censor stuff.
I'ld like some pointers (forum, comments in code and/or readme), so I know which file to go to if I want to tweak something myself.
Thanks for making this great hack sv1cec.
