Miscellaneous Hacks - Thread Blocker by BOP5 - Block usergroup access to specific threads

Version 1.3: Added option to block threads by forumid & bug fix
1.2 - Added option to block threads by thread prefix
1.1 - Added option to block by userid
1.0: Initial Release

I know the best way to control access to threads is via built in permissions and promotions systems however some times for special circmstances there are just certain threads you want to block from certain people- maybe from guests for example. What this mod does is make it easy to block some specific threadids from usergroups you specify. Simple and effective. The users without permission will see an error message saying they don't have access to that particular thread.

1 Plugin and 1 Global Phrase: bop5tb_noaccess - This is the error message others will see when attempting to view a thread.

Working on vBulletin 3.8.7- 4.1.5 and should work on all VB 3.6.x and up including all 4.x versions.

thanks.

Make a new usergroup... Add that user to the group... Block usergroup from thread.

You can add option for Block User ID from Thread ?

Just create a new usergroup called "Blocked From Threads" , make it based off of Registered Users so all the permissions are the same.

Then add the specific user(s) to that group as an additional group.

They will be blocked from the thread and it won't affect anything else.

I was "convinced" to add the option to block by userid to this mod. Version 1.1 now released.

Thanks for this great add-on, but I want some thing similar to this, but not blocking some usergroups from thread, I want just disallow them from posting in that thread, is this possible some how?

[New Joe]

Great mod as always, but i'd like to have seen it where you can block an actual user instead of a usergroup
Could that be done?
