Moderators Functions - Ban Users From a Thread

Ban Users From A Thread
(Keep users out of a particular thread)

Summary:

Allows Administrators/Supermods to ban a user from a particular thread.
Most useful if you have a "flame started" and you dont want to lock the entire thread or ban the user entirely - just keep them out of the thread!

This mod was originaly created by Trigunflame for vb 3.5, but since the developer hasn't been online and updated his mod since 2006, I've decided to publish this port for 3.6 (thanks beano33)! I've tested it on 3.6.4 and 3.6.7 - and it works perfectly.


Features:

1. Allows Banning users from a particular thread.
2. This mod can be used if user has SuperModerator or higher permissions.
3. Cannot ban Mods/Supermods/Admins.
4. Can clear all bans in a particular thread, or bans from All threads.
5. Can ban/unban user from a single menu when clicking their username.
6. Page to display Forum Wide Thread Bans.


Instructions:

1. Download the .zip file
2. Read the guide in the README.txt document
3. Click Install if you like the mod


Support:

I will offer as much support as I can for all of you that installed this mod.
Please do not PM me for support, and state your question in this thread.

I had a hard time finding out where it came from and it was this hack!

I dont know what happened, but its annoying, good hack, but shame for the bugs. uninstalled

- edit

now my whole forum is screwed up, thanks a lot!

Just disable/uninstall the mod and see if it's working that way.
Really, this mod shouldn't affect your forum posting abilities in any way, especially not the quick editor. It's probably just a coincidence. Have you installed any other mods that day?

[question?]

good mod

[question?]

I've changed the postbit ban, to not allow user group 6:

<if condition="($show['btu_canban']) AND ($post['usergroupid'] != 6)">

and only allowed admins to clear ALL bans:

<if condition="$show['btu_canban']">
    <div><label for="ao_btu"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btu" value="btu_clear" />$vbphrase[btu_clear]</label></div>
    <if condition="$usergroupid == 6"><div><label for="ao_btua"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btua" value="btu_clear_all" />$vbphrase[btu_clear_all]</label></div></if>
    <div><label for="ao_btuv"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_btuv" value="btu_view_all" />$vbphrase[btu_view_all]</label></div>
    </if>

Question....does this upset them and do they then make alternate threads? This is problem we have seen when trying to ...cool down people. Infractions can be an issue too. How is this working for people?

[AcidX]

It's working as it should be.

If members get "upset" because you banned them from a specific thread and start flooding with alternate threads - why not ban them from the entire forum? LadyBeth, you obviously don't have much experience administrating/moderating large boards.

[LadyBeth]

I do have experience with a fairly large forum, and I just don't want to ban everyone who gets cabin fever. I was just asking if anyone had a backlash from this, that's all.

Hi, guys !

Could ameliorate your hack to enable mods to ban user from a thread ?

It could be excellent !


Thanks,
