Warning System, Automatic Ban, Make Posts Invisible, Edit Signature/ Avatar/ Picture

Warning System, Automatic Ban, Make Posts Invisible, Edit Signature/ Avatar/ Picture - Version 1.1

Okay, this is my private forum's custom warning/ suspension/ banning system and postbit moderator system. This is a fairly involved hack, so it is crucial that you follow the instructions closely. It would benefit experienced hackers the most. The following instructions are for an unhacked board. If you have hacked your board, or use different moderator usergroups, just make the appropriate changes.


With this hack, your staff and you will be able to:

1) Add/ Substract/ Reset Warning Points for a Member from a Popup Window in Postbit.

2) When the Member has Warning Points that reach a set level (up to you), the Member will be Automatically Banned.

3) Easily View a Member's Warning Points in the Postbit.

4) Have the ability to easily Edit a Member's Avatar/ Profile Pic/ Sig/ Reputation comments from a Popup Window in Postbit.

5) Suspend temporarily or Ban permanently a Member from a Popup Window in Postbit.

6) Have 2 categories of Banned Members -

..... a) Normal Banned members where the posts all remain, and

..... b) Troll Banned members, where all the posts in this usergroup

.......... i) Automatically becomes Invisible from all other members! You no longer have to manually search and delete their posts. They virtually disappear from your forums when they get put in this usergroup. Also, Troll Banned members get

.......... ii) Fake 404 errors and can no longer access your site.


Please be aware that this hack is designed for my private forums. If you want additional features, or customization, you have permission to do this yourself. Please do not expect me to customize this hack for your site.

FWIW, I've had this system running for 2 years now (obviously with different code). Time for me to share...

The installation instructions are in the HTML file in the ZIP file below. The warn.php is also in the ZIP file.


Screenshots:

1. Options available with the dropdown menu for staff.

NOTE: You can also edit profile pictures, reputation comments, etc. but I can't be bothered making screenshots of all the features.

Enjoy!

I just had a look. I can't either. I'm not sure that's not by design though, but I thought I remembered seeing it before Gold.

Had to fix a few queries to work with table prefixes, but other than that.. Installe with no problems.

[dano]

I have a problem. When I troll ban everyone, it now says:

"The administrator has decided that XXXXXXXX should be quiet for a while." then gives the member the option to take this person off their ignore list.

How can I fix this so that it doesnt say that as I dont want the member or other members to know that I have banned this person.

Bump

Can anyone help me fix this??

Why would you bump a thread not even 30mins after making your last post? Especially when it's still the top thread in this forum? You might want to wait at least 12hrs before doing so.

Actually it was like 2 1/2 hours, but no big deal. Gee thanks for the leason, there was no reason for you to even post.

Actually I'd meant to type the hours in before it (i.e. 2hrs 30mins), but was coding something at the time and apparently missed that part.. But, you should wait a little longer though when it's still the top thread in the forum. And actually, I was going to hepl you with it after I finished what I was doing.
