Trap Banned Members: They can not logout (VB3) · **Released**: 03-26-2004

I'm releasing this ported version of an old very tiny hack upon request. It is a 1 line hack that prevents banned usergroups (or any other usergroup you want) to log out. Since they can not log out, they can not reregister either.

The hack prevents them to clear the cookies so they are stuck with their banned usernames in the forum. But obviously this applies:
a) If user is a cookie user
b) If he is not able to clear them manually in his computer.

So the hack is effective for novices only. Tested in vB3.0.0, should work in all vb 3.x versions though. Vb2.x version is here. Click install if you use it, thanks!

VB3.5 version is here:
here

Enjoy!

Installed

Is it available for 3.5.0 ?

Logician · #68 09-30-2005, 09:32 AM

I didn't port it to vb3.5, but I don't know if it is worth porting. Because in 3.5, the users can't see log out link when they are banned. Well they can still log out if they know the URL by memory but if they are that clever, I think they can think of clearing the cookies manually to bypass this hack either. Don't you think?

Yes basicly cannot see this link,but many vB forums everyhere

Your hack is easy but strong,becasuse maybe %10 users known clear cookies manualy,when I use this hack banned member hang on forum,very simple but good

Sigh. Marked uninstalled. I can no longer maintain it as a code edit. Would love this as a MOD, if that were possible.

Is there a 3.8.1 plugin for this?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
