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!

- targetusergroup (if you have a cookie)
- usergroups that will not be changed by the hack (protect mods, s-mods and admins)

So that you can choose to ban or to move to miserable users, to protect your staff, and to quick disable the hack itself.

this is much more comfortable than the original,
but keep in mind, that it's still beta!!

but maybe it'll do for you (as it does for me)

edit: fixed missing table_prefix

I am using your modified version but don't understand what this setting is for in the ACP:

Users of those usergroups
Set, comma seperated, those usergroupids that will cause clones beeing banned too
useful, if you have different banned groups for temporary and permanent bans
example: 8,10
