Blank Page Ban Hack by N9ne: 7th Feb 2003
vB version: 2.2.x
File edits: 1 (forum/global.php)
Templates to add: 1 (blankpageban)
Description: This is another form of banning members of your forum.
When you a ban a user, put them into the new usergroup you will
create during the installation of this hack, a group called Blank Page Banned.
If a user is in this group, they will get a blank page all over your forum, they
will not be able to see anything. They cannot even logout to avoid this. The
only way is to delete their cookies. You can also modify this hack very very
easily to change it so there's a message on this blank page, you can put anything
here though, anything using html! A good idea is to put a fake mysql or php parse
error making the banned user think there's something wrong with the forum when
really it's just him that's banned!
I can't provide a screenshot really, just imagine a blank page .
Basically this hack is just going to make life a bit odd for your banned users .
NOTE: If you have a banned usergroup already, and you wish to put all users in that group into the blank
page ban group quickly, you can simply rename the banned usergroup you have to Blank Page Banned and
enter the usergroupid of that usergroup inplace of the X in the code above.

This is my first hack in a while, I want to thank TheMayhem for giving me the idea for this hack.

I think you're looking for something like Hellban.
BTW, this hack effing rocks! I've been looking for something like to clear up some issues I've been having.
hellban has too many bugs hence people request similar things from other hacks . Personally I'd just make it so it shows up on every page all the time, it's more hell-ish that way eh

Agreed... I tried to install it but it kept not showing any posts. So I just changed the blank page template to a 404 page. Gets the same results.
Hrmmm, I'm not sure if I did something wrong - I installed the hack, but everyone, not just members of the designated usergroup, was getting a blank page. I followed the directions to word, so, I'm not sure. *shrug*
A very nice idea, however. It's something I've been looking for.

Please post exactly what you have as the last 6 lines of global.php.
Also, make sure there is NOTHING after the ?>
Make sure there are no lines or spaces after the > sign at the end of the file.
I havea memebr who has cable or something, and kept trying to sign up. I banned his absolute hostname, not single IP. I also added his accounts to the blank page group. He doesn't seem to be posting anymore though.
Hmm......any tips on how else to deal with banned guys who wont get a clue?
