Special Catagories with matching avatar and user title!?

[pixelghetto]

So yes at one point I thought it would be cool to add a few new clickable smilies, namely the infamous dancing banana; :banana: but some users went banana crazy and posted lines of the dancing bastards and it gets really annoying. I mean I could just replace the banana with a transparent gif, but that is NO fun.

I was wondering if anyone knows a way of making a custom user group for a "banana abuser" and then once the user in the user group, they have this avatar that i came up with; and a custom title of "banana abuser". At the moment I have to manually make the users have that avatar and title. I want it so I can just lump all the offenders into that user group and they get stuck with the avatar and user title till I otherwise let them out on probation.



P.S. Anyone is free to swipe the "banana abuser" icon if they wish!

well in vb3 that would be very easy.

like in vb2 you can use html in usertitles so use the title
"banana abuser<br><img src="banana-abuse.gif">" as this groups usertitle.

now all you have to do is to avoid that groop from choosing an extra avatar (that would be a usergrouppermission in vb3, for vb2, you ahve to search around as there has been posted such a hack iirc)

Ok, thanks I'll have a look for that hack...any clues as to what it was called just to make it quicker to find?

I'll upgrade to vb3 when it's out of beta!
