Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Token of Death (cookie ban)

Token of Death (cookie ban)
by http://www.shinraonline.com
Version: BETA!

Products: 1
Plugins: 2
Queries: 1 (if the user is in banned group)


THIS IS A BETA... DON'T INSTALL IT...

Really, I mean it. Okay, so it worked on my test forum, but do you really want to be a guinea pig?

Actually, its using the "forumhome_complete" hook to initiate the banning process... I think there's probably a better hook, but I'm not sure where yet.

Sounds cool, does it destroy robots?

Um, no. If a user is banned, it will set a cookie and if they re-register or log onto an alias, they will be auto-banned.


IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE:

If you test this out on your forum, delete the cookie before you log back into your admin account or you will get banned!!

(Next version, I'll add a check so admins are exempt)


Installation:

Step 1: Import product-token_of_death.xml

Step 2: edit the 'Token Of Death: Bake a Cookie!' and change the 8 to your preferred banned usergroup ID. 8 I think is the default.
admincp -> plugin manager -> Token Of Death: Bake a Cookie! (edit)

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 8)) 


Step 2: edit the 'Token of Death: Stealth Ban!' plugin and change $TODgroup to the usergroup you want to add the user to.
admincp -> plugin manager -> Token of Death: Stealth Ban! (edit)

PHP Code:

// This is the usergroup you want to change the user to (banned).
$TODgroup = 10; 


Step 3: Take over World!

So If they cleared their cookies it would reset?

[Hornstar]

This could become really handy ^^ however a simple clear cookies would stop this from happening, so in a way, the really annoying users would figure this out in no time :/

Nice work tho, it seems really original.

Could you please make an option to connect this to the Miserable users member group? After getting re-banned right away, most banned members will start to think about clearing their cookies. But if a returning banned member is automaticly put into Miserable users, then it will just seem like the site is acting weird and is much more fun as well.
