Psionic Vision any way you could put a setting in that after so many post it turns back on for say registered members or for the usergroup you have it shut off for? For example I shut my pms off on registered users this way there is no spam via pm so could you put something to where if they have like 10 post it would turn back on?

Thanks for the update. I just found the glitch to this today when I opened my board and it didn't register the newest users and total member count. All works fine now!

Hi Psionic ! This looks like a great hack. I do have a question, I don't ban users but rather moderate them. I have tried to turn off their pm's but they still can receive them. Would it be possible to add to this hack a way to turn off both incoming and outgoing for a user group?

Thanks for your help.

This is what I'm wondering. I don't want this to go tot he users that can't use PMs at all anymore.

It's unnecessary. There is a default vBulletin options that allows you to set pmbox size. Set it to 0 and they will not be able to send or receive messages.

Also, I've taken out all the template edits to have this not work and it's still messing with the ones that aren't suppose to be getting PMs. ???

I have mine set to 0 already, and Pms are still getting through. they can't read them of course - but they are getting through.

but they are getting through.

That sounds like a bug to be reported over at jelsoft's site.
