Miscellaneous Hacks - Visible Infractions & Warnings

Support will only be given in this thread to those who clicked install!

Inspired by a popular 4chan feature, this is a great way to show what is and what is not acceptable on your forums. If the entire community can see what what they can get an infraction for, there are less likely to do it.

It's a very simple modification. If a user is given an infraction, it will display the respective text underneath the post, but above the signature. Same if the user is only given a warning. It will not edit or alter any other part of the postbit.

If you don't like the colors, they can be easily changed with either simple HTML knowledge or "googling" hex codes.

Thank you Dismounted, couldn't have created it without your help.

3. Go to Styles & Tempates->Style Manager->Main CSS->

Fantastic edit. Thank you for the contribution.

Thanks for that!

One issue, if a warning is taken back, the the visible line will stay under the post.

I think it would be better, if the line under the post could delete or something like this.

That is probably the default line in vBulletin that seperates the Signature from the rest of the post.

UltimateOreo!, thank you for idea (:

====
klaush, this is vB original specific for only "warning", because infraction is a small inaccuracy user.. notice.. only notice. If user reaches X points eg infraction for the warning, it will remain in post.

installed and work

Hello and thanks for the mod but this CCS addition is giving errors in the W3C validator:
Value Error : width Lexical error at line 410, column 91. Encountered: "n" (110), after : "!i" 70%nfraction;

Any idea how to solve this?

Cheers

Eg. User received an infraction for spamming in this post.


A suggestion would be to make it look more official. Have the infraction symbol show before the words, maybe have a nice border around it. etc.

I agree. The infraction title should be shown to get this more effective on other user's behaviour

Did anybody find that variable to get it displayed?

As far as I found it's $infractioninfo[reason] in the template userinfraction_view...

Don't know how to find it in postbit....
