One Touch Ban & Clean-up (Best wishes to mfyvie's family)
This is, at it's core, just a port of this mod. But I may add new features later on.
The main purpose of this mod is to clean up after a spammer. With a minimum of fuss it will:
Delete all threads started by the spammer
Delete all posts made by the spammer
Delete all PMs sent to other members by the spammer
Delete all calendar events made by the spammer
Ban or delete the spammer as you like
Ignore permissions - posts can be deleted in areas that a moderator may not have access to.
The option to activate this tool appears in the drop-down menu in the postbit, as well as on the profile page. From here it is a "one-touch" operation, with the small exception that you must press a confirmation button before the cleanup is made.
See the screenshot for the various options, but some of the more interesting ones are:
You can specify individual users (in addition to groups) who can use this tool. This means certain trusted, non-moderator users could have the ability to clean up spam and ban spammers.
You can specify users or groups who are protected - they cannot be deleted by this tool.
By default, users who have registered more than 30 days ago are also protected from this tool (spammers tend to be caught and removed fairly soon after registration)
You can turn the various deletion targets (threads, posts, events, PMs) on or off
Select between hard delete or soft delete
This mod is similar to some older mods, but improved in a number of ways:
You also have the choice to alter the standard ban and delete reasons before you press confirm.
Deletes more types of spam (PMs, events)
Simple, quick, effective
Single file import (.xml) no file edits, no template edits, no .php files to upload
Should work on all versions of 3.6.x and future versions
Installation
Download and import the .xml file via AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Remember to click overwrite if upgrading
Configuration
Once installed, check in your AdminCP under "VBulletin settings" and look for the configuration group called "One-touch Spam Ban & Cleanup Options". The default options should be fine for most people.
How to use
If you have rights to use this tool (i.e. are an admin or moderator, or have configured it for the relevant user or group ID) you should see the option appear in a drop-down on the postbit (see attached screenshots for an example). The idea is that as soon as you see a spammer select the "One-touch Ban & Clean" option to remove all trace of the spammer.
1. Add 'check version' and direct link support to the the plugin as it appears in the "plugins & products -> Manage Products" portion of the administration control panel.
Can you make this work for Visitor Messages? Most of the time, lots of spam goes on with Visitor messages. Thanks Otherwise great mod, still installing and nominating!
EDIT: Whoa. When I installed this, it broke my forums. It was loading as a white page. When I disabled, it went back to normal. Uh. I am using 3.8.7
