Require Users to Sign a Contract Before Posting in an Individual Forum

This is a port of this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76835

This little mod forces users to read and sign a "contract" before it allows them to post in certain forums of your choosing. It also allows you to "ticket" users who break your forum rules. After 3 tickets, the user can no longer post in the forum.

You may define a different contract for each of your forums if you so choose.
-------------------------------
YOU may easily extend this idea to make readers sign a contract before reading a certain forum. I do not need this feature and will not be adding it at this time.

-------------
Template Conditionals You May Like to Use for the Ticket System:

<if condition="$post[reqcontract]">

- In the postbit, this lets you see if tickets are required in the forum.

<if condition="$post[ticket]">

- Check to see if the user has a ticket. This way, you don't have to show the number of tickets for people who don't have any.

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6)">

- use this to see if the person reading the post is an admin or supermod. If they are, you can show them the links that will ticket users.

Putting it all together, an example way to use the tickets in the postbit:

<if condition="$post[reqcontract]">
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6)">
<if condition="$post[ticket]">
User's Tickets in this forum: $post[ticket]<br />
</if>
<a href="ticket.php?do=addticket&forumid=$post[forumid]&userid=$post[userid]">Ticket User</a><br />
<if condition="$post[ticket]">
<a href="ticket.php?do=rticket&forumid=$post[forumid]&userid=$post[userid]">Remove One Ticket</a><br />
<a href="ticket.php?do=cticket&forumid=$post[forumid]&userid=$post[userid]">Clear the user's tickets</a><br />
</if>
</if>
</if>

A huge thank you to LiveWire, Boofo and HellSatan for testing this out.

Installation on 3.5 RC1 is as simple as importing the product, changing two existing phrases and making one template change.

I think another author has a better working version, and YES, it is great to have for forums where you need to control the crowd.
