Redirect Ban

Crafty Banning Hack - v1
By Colicab
For VB 2.2.x (any 2.2. board)
////////////////////////////

Redirect certain user ids to any site you wish.
Note you must replace xx with the user`s id you wish to
redirect.

Note you may also replace ==
with any of the following:

== : Eqeual To
!= : Unequal To
> : Greater than
< : Less than
>= : Greater than and equal to
<= : Less than and equal to

You may also have extra user ids insted of just one
by adding or after xx in the case of using ==

eg : if($bbuserinfo[userid] == 2 or 5)

in this case the users with the ids 2 or 5 would
be redirected.

This is a fun hack for a cruel joke
or maybe you want moderators to be auto
redirected to the moderator panel
its up to you.. if already had some fun
redirecting banned users to porn sites.

there's "The Worlds Most Annoying Webpage" where you have to get through 250 alerts, a simple CTRL+ALT+DELETE does it i think but hey its good.

I was the beta tester of this :Rolleyes:... well he got me with it anyway.

Just redirect to a page that says 'you're banned, have a nice life' or something..

I don't mean to sound like I ma trying to rain on anyone's parade. But not every board admin is able to alter source code just to impose a ban on a certain user.

For any sort of an administrative ban, you should provide a way that the ban could be given to any user through the admin CP and not through code editing.

great little addition.. can it be done to an ip address instead of a user? so if the user logs out but rehits the site??
