I just edited the plugin to send users to a new usergroup that works like banned.. but labeled "sheeps".

edit this part of the code for both plugins.

SET usergroupid =  '8'

change 8 to what ever the new usergroup is.

Thanks for the nice product! I was looking for a way to allow our users to "Self Ban" which currently took the form of a request. Now the request is automated! I made some adjustments to the XML to make it self_ban aware (instead of ban_me) and I changed the variable names so that it would not conflict with the original.
