Annother banning alternative : Starved Users

This hack is another alternative to banning a user. As the name suggests a user who
gets hit with this hack will be deprived from a lot of the general board features.

So here is what really happens to a starved user:

- Every graphic image on the board will be replaces with a red X icon.
- They don't have access to the search engine.
- They have a 10x flood control time
- They are only allowed to post 20 characters per post (the 20 charcters is
inclusive of the post title.)
- They can not see avatars in posts
- They can not display their signature
- Their user options is set to 0

This hack is another one of my sadistic hacks on my board.

The hack allows you to make your user starved via the admin CP (In the Edit User
screen). It also allows you to search for all starved users through the admin CP
as well.

Also in showthread.php, it appends a red status that is only visibly to admins
and mods stating that a user is starved.

Tables affected by this hack: user

Files affected by this hack: global.php, showthread.php, newthread.php, newreply.php, admin/user.php, admin/functions.php

There is also a new icon that needs to be placed in the images directory: images/redx.gif

################################################## ##########

From the MySQL prompt execute the following statement:

alter table user add starved smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;

################################################## ##########

Please click the install button if you like this hack and you install it on your board.

This is the query you need to run:

[sql]alter table user add starved smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;[/sql]

PHP Code:

while ($var=$DB_site->fetch_array($vars)) {
    if ($var['findword']!="") {
      $newtext=str_replace($var['findword'],$var['replaceword'],$newtext);
    }
  } 


I can't find this anywhere in my admin/functions file. Just by scanning threw the file it looks like it has something to do with the microstats hack I have installed.

Sorry to bump this, but im having a problem with this hack on my new board...

I have everything installed properly, but when i change the option to "yes" in ADMIN CP, and save changes, the option reverts back to "NO", and the user isn't starved

Anyone know what this may be???

Same problem.

As I read through this it gets better and better.

The idea of switching a user from miserable to starved and back again ... worse than evil.
