Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Token of Death (cookie ban)

Token of Death (cookie ban)
by http://www.shinraonline.com
Version: BETA!

Products: 1
Plugins: 2
Queries: 1 (if the user is in banned group)


THIS IS A BETA... DON'T INSTALL IT...

Really, I mean it. Okay, so it worked on my test forum, but do you really want to be a guinea pig?

Actually, its using the "forumhome_complete" hook to initiate the banning process... I think there's probably a better hook, but I'm not sure where yet.

Sounds cool, does it destroy robots?

Um, no. If a user is banned, it will set a cookie and if they re-register or log onto an alias, they will be auto-banned.


IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE:

If you test this out on your forum, delete the cookie before you log back into your admin account or you will get banned!!

(Next version, I'll add a check so admins are exempt)


Installation:

Step 1: Import product-token_of_death.xml

Step 2: edit the 'Token Of Death: Bake a Cookie!' and change the 8 to your preferred banned usergroup ID. 8 I think is the default.
admincp -> plugin manager -> Token Of Death: Bake a Cookie! (edit)

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 8)) 


Step 2: edit the 'Token of Death: Stealth Ban!' plugin and change $TODgroup to the usergroup you want to add the user to.
admincp -> plugin manager -> Token of Death: Stealth Ban! (edit)

PHP Code:

// This is the usergroup you want to change the user to (banned).
$TODgroup = 10; 


Step 3: Take over World!

Any luck with this? It would be really handy to have working about now...

This is a great idea, just pity that it's not functional at the moment

all admin and mods are banned help me (

subscribing, this mod is REALLY useful and should be a default function with VB. I have users that keep creating accounts after they get banned using public proxies and this will help keep them out.

look forward to an update

If your having proxy ip problems, then also try this hack, it works great.

It works great with this hack.

Any further news on this? It would just be superb to be able to use as there are no alternatives.

Does anyone know if it does it to ALL banned members, or just permanently? I.e does it unban those who have been given 24 hour bans etc?


Thanks, and good luck with finishing it

Any news on this mod? Looks like it's been deserted.

Ive been super busy with life so I haven't had time to work on this... anyone is free to pick up the project if they like. In answer ot the earlier question (sorry I missed it, its hard to keep track of threads here) it doesn't take temp bans into consideration. Its meant a perm solution for repeat pests.

Rrrr... so you need to add a warning to make sure that in your config file that admin userid should be set to unchangeable, as I just added the mod, it autobanned me (prob due to stealth havn't gotten back in yet) - and when I logged in on a moderator account i keep for backup - it shows the admin is no longer an admin but a normal user - when ido the fix to get back in admin is a normal user not an admin... bah I gotta remember how to reset it...

Does this work alright on version 3.6.8 ?
