The addon allows to set one or more usergroups who you wish to annoy. Users in these groups who
browse your forum will experience random, annoying effects (blinking text, backward text etc).
This makes for a fun alternative to banning, and can actually prove more effective: a banned user
will often just re-register under a different name; with Sadistic, the user may just decide that
your site is buggy, and give in.

Ahh, so it's not even showing the multi select box.
I've made an alteration which may fix it (download product-sadistic.xml from the first post). I haven't been able to replicate the problem though, so can't be sure this fix will work ... but if anyone wants to give it a try, that would be great.
One question left: The Sadistic use Cookies to annoy the users, right? Is there any chance to activate the Add-on for IP addresses as well, not only user groups? I would like to annoy a very special group of users with a static IP ^^
ForenOpfer: the plugin doesn't set a cookie of its own, but it does indirectly rely on cookies, since the victim has to be logged in. I agree that IP-based selection would be useful too - I'll add this when I get a chance (maybe in a couple of days).
Snatta: before you get too worked up, don't forget that I wrote this in my spare time, and am making it available for free. I haven't been able to replicate the problem on any of my vbulletin installations, which is making it harder to fix
Whats gone wrong is you stole the code from Miserable users but dont actually understand how it all works, the result being it doesnt work.

By "alteration" I assume what you mean is you took a bit more of my original code in the hope that it might fix it - but it didnt.

Who wrote it ? What you mean is I wrote it, and then you copied it, and changed the actual effects - possibly wrote that little bit, or maybe you copied that from somewhere as well. I dont know.

Please see above re "hard work".
Wow .. I just noticed you released it on my birthday. Not cool.
