This product will allow you to ban someone from a thread so they cannot reply to it or, depending on the configuration, they cannot even view its contents.

On my site we have some people who like to stir things up when they see threads about a certain subject. Their replies aren't worthy of an outright ban but they can be very annoying and disrupt the flow of the thread. Rather than leaving up to the moderators to keep deleting the posts and warning the poster, this product puts a stop to the problem by allowing moderators to lock people out of a thread as needed.

As of version 4.1.3.1 it is now possible to specify user groups that can use this product even if they don't have moderator rights over the forum the thread is in. It is also possible to quickly unban people who have already posted to the thread. And there is a new option to allow bans to be set at the forum level.

Configuration

There are various configuration settings that allow you to customise how this product works...



Thread Creation Bans Enabling this allows the thread creator to specify a list of banned users as the thread is being created. This is the only time a non-moderator is able to ban someone from a thread and the following option will appear if enabled...



Show Banned Users Enabling this will display a banner at the top of the thread listing all of the users who are banned from that thread, for example...



Show Banned Users (Mods Only) Enabling this will display the same banner as above but only if the person viewing the thread is a moderator of the forum the thread is in.

Prevent Viewing Enabling this will attempt to stop the person who is banned from a thread from being able to view the contents of that thread. If they attempt to open the thread, or view the preview text, they will get...




Logout Protection This works in conjunction with the "Prevent Viewing" option, and enabling this will prevent users not logged into your forums from being able to view the thread if anyone is banned from it. This is to stop someone who is banned from a thread simply logging out of your forums to bypass the ban by viewing the thread as a guest.

Allow Forums Bans This allows users to be banned from a forum. Once ban they cannot reply to (or view if "Prevent Viewing" is enabled) any thread in that forum. They will also be prevented from creating new threads in that forum. This setting wont propagate down to sub-forums. There is no forum banner showing who is banned at forum level, however all forum level bans will appear in the thread banner (if enabled) when viewing a thread in that forum.

User Groups Optional comma separated list of user group IDs who will have access to this products functionality even if they don't have moderator permissions over the thread. This option will also restrict which users can use the "Thread Creation Bans" feature.


Example

If a moderator wants to ban someone from a thread then they have two options...



The option under the "Moderators Tools" menu will ban the users of any selected posts. This allows quick banning of people who have already replied to the thread.

The option under the "Administrative" menu will bring up the following screen which will allow the moderator to enter the names of users they want banned, allowing pre-emptive banning of people you know are going to cause trouble in a thread! This screen is also the only way people can be unbanned from a thread.

Just an FYI. If you have users using Tapatalk, they can post in threads regardless of thread/forum bans through this modification.

You may also want to have it check against the user creating the thread, you can "ban" yourself from your own threads. I'd not call it a bug... but it just seems odd.

huh? You don't need to copy your database. You just need to install the mods you are using on a new installed 4.2 board. They should work even without the database entries from your entire board.

Many of my mods work with the dbase. Testing is most effective if I copy and test. I spent much time making them work right and tweaking them for my board, I need to be able to see the effects correctly. Thanks/Groans is one of them, I wouldn't know that once the numbers of Thanks/Groans gets large the counts stretch beyond the boundaries of the postbit, for example...

hmm not with this hack. as you can see the developer has not been online for a long time now.
But I think it won't be a hard job for a coder to change the hacks source code, so banning usergroups gets possible.

I can't find the code in the templates.. the code does not even look like the same format in the template as it does in the instructions. I'm guessing this is because I'm using v4.2.0. Is there any way to make this mod work for v4.2? I could solve nighmarish issues on my forum with this mod, so please, if anyone can help me please let me know!

It says "Thread Creation Bans Enabling this allows the thread creator to specify a list of banned users as the thread is being created" but how is a thread creator supposed to look into the future and know who is going to disrupt a thread? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow the thread creator the option to click on a person in the thread and ban them that way, after they start causing trouble in the thread?

I guess no one has done any further work on this mod? It would really be useful for my forum if it worked on 4.2.2.
