Allow Mods a temporary ban of users · **Released**: 06-06-2002

Hi
I´ve wrote a little hack upon request of my "Main"-Moderators.
This hack allows them to temporary ban a given user per Userid. Simply userid, reason and how many hours. The banned user will see a modified no-permission screen when he tries to login. The User can automaticly access the board again, when the entered time is over.
For the other hackers: Feel free to modify the hack and distribute a "better" version of this if you want.

Sry for my bad english.

hmmm
a temp ban is usefull, so that this user can think about that, what he has done. So why let him do anything?

well we have a different style of bans on our forums: they last from 1 day to 2 weeks and the restriction is on posting. reading the forums as well as using the pm system is allowed

currently we have to use a thread in a private forum to keep a log of these bans. this hack would be great if it moved the user to and from the banned users group...

How would I make this so the Admin and Super Moderator can use it and only the moderators you select?

In banuser.php @ line 10:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=1 and !$ismod=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] and forumid=2")) {

change this to:

PHP Code:


			
if (

    $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6

    and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5

    and $bbuserinfo[userid]!=x

    and $bbuserinfo[userid]!=y

    and $bbuserinfo[userid]!=z

{

$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6 for the admin-group
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5 for the supermoderators
$bbuserinfo[userid]!=x-z for the userid?s for the moderators you select

If the moderators are all in 1 usergroup (and only them, no one else) you can use the way with the usergroupid.

This is an interesting hack. I will look into it soon. It would be good if the hack allows for ban periods of days or weeks. But I suppose you can just work it out by working out the number of hours.

If you want a user ban some days or weeks increase the hours

it works. calc.exe is a good friend then

Using this hack is very good. Big problem is when they see the error, they will freak out.

I suggest a countdown, or a statement that says you have been banned for a certain number of minutes/hrs/etc

I don't think a countdown is good, but just a plain statement saying how long he has been banned.

Something like this prevents users from leaving the forums (which is something you do not want happening)

well if you allow guests to view the board, all they have to do is logout

true, but that's not the most effective solution, is it?

plus, i want to leave the ability to pm...

if you want ban in days and not hours, just add *24 after every 60*60 in the banuser.php
