Warning System, Automatic Ban, Make Posts Invisible, Edit Signature/ Avatar/ Picture

Warning System, Automatic Ban, Make Posts Invisible, Edit Signature/ Avatar/ Picture - Version 1.1

Okay, this is my private forum's custom warning/ suspension/ banning system and postbit moderator system. This is a fairly involved hack, so it is crucial that you follow the instructions closely. It would benefit experienced hackers the most. The following instructions are for an unhacked board. If you have hacked your board, or use different moderator usergroups, just make the appropriate changes.


With this hack, your staff and you will be able to:

1) Add/ Substract/ Reset Warning Points for a Member from a Popup Window in Postbit.

2) When the Member has Warning Points that reach a set level (up to you), the Member will be Automatically Banned.

3) Easily View a Member's Warning Points in the Postbit.

4) Have the ability to easily Edit a Member's Avatar/ Profile Pic/ Sig/ Reputation comments from a Popup Window in Postbit.

5) Suspend temporarily or Ban permanently a Member from a Popup Window in Postbit.

6) Have 2 categories of Banned Members -

..... a) Normal Banned members where the posts all remain, and

..... b) Troll Banned members, where all the posts in this usergroup

.......... i) Automatically becomes Invisible from all other members! You no longer have to manually search and delete their posts. They virtually disappear from your forums when they get put in this usergroup. Also, Troll Banned members get

.......... ii) Fake 404 errors and can no longer access your site.


Please be aware that this hack is designed for my private forums. If you want additional features, or customization, you have permission to do this yourself. Please do not expect me to customize this hack for your site.

FWIW, I've had this system running for 2 years now (obviously with different code). Time for me to share...

The installation instructions are in the HTML file in the ZIP file below. The warn.php is also in the ZIP file.


Screenshots:

1. Options available with the dropdown menu for staff.

NOTE: You can also edit profile pictures, reputation comments, etc. but I can't be bothered making screenshots of all the features.

Enjoy!

[Flashinblue]

it works on mine

[poetic]

ya reverted but now i gotta install my other hacks over again :-/

[lasto]

just look at line 523 Parse error: parse error in /home/elitexga/public_html/forum/forumdisplay.php

and see where exactly the error is

[Zilvia]

Does this work with the final release of vB 3.0.0?

[TRStealth]

I have it installed on my vB Gold, and it works perfectly. You should have no problems.

[msimplay]

to anyone that wants this warn.php i have set it to use user id 1
and the pms are set so that they get sent to user id1
and the person getting warned

i take no credit for this coz the hack was done by Erwin and the modification by 7thgenCivic.Com

ps in the warn.php change wambam to your own username it occurs 3 times
Ctrl + F to search

also use the install instructions found in this post

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=104

and replace your warning template found with the one in that post

[TRStealth]

Sweet, thanks

[lasto]

u know in the drop donw menu where the options appear mine appears in black - anyone know how to leave the color alone so it matches the rest of the box ?

[jeoworks]

msimplay,

Alot more has to be edited in that file before it will work with other installs.

For instance, you have different fieldsets, and it causes database problems because you use a scale of 10, where as the original uses 7.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the file you posted takes PHP knowledge to get it to work.
