How to restrict abilities during formal warning

[tbworld]

It is unclear what you are looking for as I am reading through this thread. I would try not reinventing the wheel here as this does not seem to be a big issue with the average board. I think @ForceHSS did a pretty good job of directing you to a possible solution.

My discovery for this topic turned up nothing relevant so you may wish to reword your question, as it may help attract more germane responses.

do you mean like when a member gets a certain amount of reports combined by reported posts that they would instantly go into another usergroup for a certain number of days...

thats a good idea!!!

It would lighten the monitor time for sure

Why not allow your moderator's to do their jobs via Modcp and move the members into a restricted warning group. Then they do not need acp access

Um...

Create a usergroup, with the *limited* permissions you want, then:
User Infractions > Add New User Infraction Group

Set Points equal to the amount of points users get when they "seriously" violate a rule.
Change Primary Usergroup to the usergroup you made with limited permissions, and set Override display to yes?

What's wrong with doing it that way?

I'm also assuming by "Warnings" you either mean 0 point infractions, or just mean infractions. In either case, if it's a *serious* issue, then the user should actually get an infraction.

No, just by certain warnings.

Because should an Admin not be on, the mods are able to do it. Looks like the reply below might have found something.

What I mean is informal warnings, like PM's, not anything through the infraction system. Once it gets to where I send a warning through the system, it would be considered a formal warning with limitations. Nevertheless, I'll try this out.

I did not answer any more as he was not making himself clear as you can see it as well

I'll elaborate, but I don't appreciate you making statements like this:

How would an admin not get to it when they can see the post made about it

I have my setup like that for good reason, and I prefer to have it like that.


So you're on my board and for minor violations and the way I have my system set up, you get informal PM's that are not through the system. They're put down in your notes and that's it. Eventually you will get a formal warning, which would be logged in the built in warning system. On a forum I'm on, when you are given a formal warning, your username color changes and you lose certain abilities. The formal warnings normally last 3-4 days there, but I'm not really concerned as the time as much as I am with the restriction abilities.

Zantox did give my a possible solution though.

Ok well firstly we'd need details of your warning system, where you got it, how it works and if not copyright post the code so we can help, if it's copyright then you'd have to ask the creator for a modification to it, if you are indeed talking about the infraction system (where you say "built in warning system") then thats a different matter.

[Elixar]

I don't have the code for it because it is custom software from years ago. I just have the concept of it.

[Simon Lloyd]

If it's already coded and you cant provide it you'll have to pay someone to build this mod for you as they will need access to your admin cp and server files for the forum.
