Miserable Users for vB3
Version: 1.01 vB-version: 3.0.0 Developer: KuraFire (original for vB2: Zzed) Install-difficulty: Easiest File edits: 0 Template edits: 1 (phpinclude_start) Description of the Hack: The Miserable Users Hack for vB3 is an upgrade from Zzed's hack for vB2. The vB3 version is streamlined and works without any file edits. It is purely template based. Templates modified for this Hack: phpinclude_start (the above was generated via the Hack Tracking Log, soon to come) 1.01 update: January 5th, 3:10 pm CET Instead of a custom check for the usergroup data to see whether the user is a Miserable User, vB3's function is_member_of() is being used now, cleaning up the code even more. Here's what the Hack does: (original Hack thread) This Hack will allow you to drive away people from your board without banning them. As explained by Zzed, the author of the original (vB2) hack: Quote:
TO INSTALL: 1) Create a new membergroup, and name it Miserable Users. Give them no particular permissions if you want, as you can use it as a secondary group (so you can effectively give them 0 permissions whatsoever). Note: make sure to note down the Membergroup id ! 2) Put this code at the top of your phpinclude_start template: Note: fill in the membergroup id from step 1 where it says "$miserableid = 8;" (replace the 8 with your id number). PHP Code:
Done! Note: this Hack will come in an HTL* package once the HTL is finished. Toning Down The Pain: You'll find that this hack is a bit rough on people, and may be getting too obvious. If you want to tone it down, here's what you can do: Toning down the page load delay: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the % chance disabling of the Search engine: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a Server Too Busy error: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a blank page: This line: PHP Code:
Increasing the chance of getting a normal page: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a refresh to Forum home: This section: PHP Code:
Hope you guys enjoy this update of the excellent hack by Zzed, with the improvements I've made to it for higher maintainability (and, no file edits ). Show Your Support

Anyway in the end I just allowed the 'sleep' part of the code. That should do the trick for now. |

Does this work on vb3.0.3?
Also as meantioned in another thread about the user figuring it out... What do you say to them and others if they post asking questions as to why they was the only one having problems? |

Sounds like you've never done customer support :P
"Must be a problem with your ISP" "Can't be on our side, nobody else is having problems" "I'll have a look into it, can't promise anything though" "Have you tried reinstalling windows?" "Maybe there's a knot on your TP cable? That can really choke the trafffic" "Ever considered that NOBODY LIKES YOU?!?" |

this code in phpinclude_start only produces a solid white page ......
i can insert the code without the miserable user hack and it still only produces a white page ....... Code:
eval('$headinclude = "' . fetch_template('headinclude') . '";'); eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header') . '";'); eval('$footer = "' . fetch_template('footer') . '";'); eval('$timezone = "' . fetch_template('timezone') . '";'); eval('$gobutton = "' . fetch_template('gobutton') . '";'); $vboptions['useforumjump'] = 0; eval(print_standard_error('error_toobusy')); |

I've always found that it's better to be on the offensive rather than the defensive with the morons. This is a nice weapon.
