Secondary Usergroups not Overriding

[stardotstar]

I think I have run into a similar thing.

We have a classifieds forum and general access is granted by the usual promotions to and assignment of primary usergroups.

When people abuse the privileges of the classifieds we want to be able to "ban" them from using the classifieds by adding them to a secondary user group.

So we have a group called adBAN.

When I set the permissions I just deny access to everything in the classifieds forum.

The adBAN group I have tried as a normal and banned group but nothing seems to allow the secondary usergroup assignment to take effect.

I don't want to put them in a primary usergroup because it will stuff up all sorts of other permissions.
