"Disappearing" a member
I wonder if anyone could offer a techinical solution to disappearing a member of my board.
My board has a policy of no permenant bans, except in the case of hacking, and so I'm in an annoying position of wanting to get rid of someone. It's fair to say they are a pain in the whatsit, and I'm sure people could understand my situation. Anyhow, in order to disappear someone, what steps should I take? I don't want it to be public knowledge that they've been banned. * First of all I'll give them a banned usergroup that gives them the apperance in the post bit of a normal user except being banned. Sorted. * Next I ban their IP of course. I may use my servercp to be extra sure * Chat will be a problem, I can ban a bunch of usernames and IPs, but they could be cleared by another chatop Basically I can't do it. Is there a 'supercookie' whereby I can have their machine not access my site, even after the standard clearing of cookies? Hmmm... |

Just ban their IP from server.

Yeah, but dynamic IPs y'know? If they return even once and say 'I was banned just like that!' I will be undone |

Banning IPs doesn't help much, as well as banning eMail - too many free mail providers out there.
Best thing to do IMHO: Change policy, ban their account. If they return, ban it again. |

yeh, these people now a days are not stupid. They just use Proxy and Free emails to keep registering even with a static IP.
There's no way your going to ban him and keep it quite, people will either ask were he's gone. or more likely he'll come back using a proxy and just posts telling everybody he was banned when your not there. |

Maybe you could start a poll for doing this special exception?
Or just do a tempban for s 100 years? :ninja: |
