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!

I have an error with this line now:

5. In newreply.php:

a) Find:

PHP: 
post.pagetext, post.allowsmilie, post.userid, post.dateline 


Replace with:

PHP: 
post.pagetext, post.allowsmilie, post.userid, post.dateline, user.usergroupid AS usergroupid

This give me an error when i try to reply or quote a post in my forum.
And stil have the other error with the forumdisplay part of the hack (Step D)

Any idea? :disappointed:

Another hack i installed maybe?
I have installed:
Arcade Hack 1.0.2
Prevent Doubleposting 1.2b
Only this two hacks... and now this... but with problems

A while back, I asked if it would be possible to have this hack (specifically the part with relation to the Global Ignore/Tachy of all Troll Banned users) apply only after a certain date ... the reason I asked for it was to deal with the scenario of a Good User (or even a ex-Mod) having gone bad and needing to have their posts, or the content of them, hidden from the general public ...

[kind of a specific request you say? damn straight ... with Erwin so busy, no wonder he said " Ummm ... nah ... too busy " and I don't blame him ]

So I wrote my own - hope it is helpful to some of you ... it aint perfect (as it's got the date hardcoded, like the usergroup is) but for my requirements it's good enough as the group of Mod's who have gone over to the dark side went off at the same time (approximately) so I hardcoded it from the start of a certain year ...

Please ask in the Addon thread if I can help with altering it to your needs ...

Opps, I seemed to have found a problem. I've Warned a member twice (just for testing) and neither one of them show up in his warning level.

Thanks.
