Just Noticed....

Is this a possible flaw?

Vbulletin MODCP allows a Moderator to "ban" an administrator. Moderators shouldn't have that ability. Ban some users....yes.....ban the admin....NO!

i suggest you over-test your thing and submit it as a bug at vbulletin.COM!

I created a Super Mod account for myself, and guess what....you can do that.

Set your Admin Account to Unalterable in the config.php file. Then no one should be able to ban you.

Lynne, how do I do that?

[Lynne]

Open the config.php file and find these lines. Enter your userid instead of the X:

    //    ****** UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS ****** 
    //    The users specified here will not be deletable or alterable from the control panel by any users. 
    //    To specify more than one user, separate userids with commas. 
$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = 'X';

I haven't tested myself but a super mod shouldn't be able to ban an ADMIN.

a BUG if it is true

[Reycer]

thanks Lynne. Will add that.

It does seems like an option that shouldn't be :down:

I agree. That needs to be fixed, or changed.
