Redirect Banned Users To Another Site · **Released**: 12-15-2008

This is my first modification to be posted. However i did not create it as it is actually a part of vbulletin. a friend of mine pointed it out to me. So i posted the idea. Thanks WM.
This modification will redirect Banned Users to www.theybannedme.com. Banned users will not be able to access your forum and create new user id's. Only after a bann is lifted and they clear their cookies then they will get access again.

This modification is endorsed by theybannedme.com website, they put a link on their front page to this post...

Confirmed working on vB 4.0.0 if you use a replacement variable - <head>
Thanks for the contribution icarusforde

Instructions:

Admin CP->Styles and Templates->Style Manager->Your Skin Style->Edit Templates->header->Paste this at the very top..........

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 8">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.theybannedme.com">
</if>

If your banned usergroup id is something other than 8, change the value to what yours is........

Also, you can change the url to anything you want, in case you ever want to change it............

Updated>>> slightly changed version, thanks to DungBeetle= This will redirect a particular user

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == X">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.theybannedme.com">
</if>

This modification can also be used for a wide variety of creative purposes.

Tested on VB 3.6.x, 3.7.x, and 3.8.x

Confirmed working on vB 4.0.0 if you use a replacement variable - <head>

Please click INSTALLED if you use this

thanks

we used to use something like this. I called it "the gay". I made a new banned usergroup with the title "got the gay". only that usergroup would get the redirect and we sent them to one of those Last Measure shock sites that pops up a million popups of gay porn while a voice scream "hey everyone I'm looking at gay porn". we would only use it on people who were attacking the website as a way to attack back.

it was fun for the nonbanned users becasue when they'd see an ass causing trouble & then all the sudden their title changed to "got the gay" they all knew what the user was seeing / hearing.

I've since stopped using it since the laws changed and it's now illegal to blindly link or forward people into porn. wasn't worth the possible legal headaches.

I'd reinstate it if I had a good site to use.

I know, I am not being politically correct, but I just sent my banned users to http://www.specialolympics.org/athletes.aspx

"Be a Special Olympics Athlete"

So using 0 is immediate or would using 1 would be more immediate?

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