Ah, ok, as long as there's a way to see bans.

Anyways, this is an excellent hack. One I've been waiting for a LONG time

Hmm after digging through the mountains of includes.. I think i found a way to handle that conditional template for Ban / Unban.

Its weird cause the actual postbit variables ie. $btu cant be seen directly from the showthread.php file cause its in includes/class_postbit.php. So the workaround is adding global $btu; to a function using a hook in that file...

Will update it in a few min.

Aye, I was going to suggest the same thing, at least for admins.

Props to you, a very sweet mod

Update:
1. Conditional Ban or Unban based on Status.
Note: To upgrade, please uninstall & reinstall product, and redo install step #3.

Now shows ban or unban based on the users current status within the thread.

Low priority suggestion: Enable thread banning of moderators if the thread isn't in the forum that they are a moderator of.
