[3.6.x] Infractions Permissions Help

[evenmonkeys]

Since vBulletin chose to not override usergroups completely by actually placing the infraction usergroup as the primary or secondary, I was wondering if someone could maybe make a modification allowing that.

Basically, I setup the infraction system so that when they receive x amount of infractions, they're placed into my Suspended usergroup. Rather than showing the "You do not have permissions blah blah" on everything, I have always used a forum to explain why a user is where they're at. In this case, they're going to know as they've been warned and whatnot, but since the infraction usergroup doesn't override ALL permissions, it doesn't override the forum permissions that are already set to no on Registered Users. It only turns yes's into no's; NOT no's into yes's.

Could someone help me out? If that's not possible, does anyone know of an "if condition" thinger I could use and I'll just have an announcement under the navbar or something.

Thanks.
