Changelog
Version 1.2
Clicking "Cancel" on the extra text prompt means that the PM will not be sent
Adding an option to display a confirmation popup when the PM has been sent
Fixed a bug with usergroup permission checking (thanks Osmosis)
Version 1.1
Added a global on/off switch for vBPunch
Added the ability to add/remove reputation points when punching
Added usergroup permissions - you can now choose which usergroups are allowed to use vBPunch
Now includes 3 "Punch User" images as well as the text link
What is vBPunch?
vBPunch is a quick way of sending a warning PM to a user, based on a post they have made.
It adds a link to the postbit called "Punch User". When an admin clicks this, vBPunch pops up a textbox letting the admin type a reason (if they wish, it's optional), then it sends the user a PM.
What makes vBPunch so special then???!?
The useful thing about vBPunch is that it does it all in the backgorund using Ajax. That means, no popup windows, no page refreshes, nothing. All the admin does is click the "Punch User" link, enter a reason if needed, then continues reading the thread / post, without being interupted.
Installation
Please read install.html located in the zip file
Un-installation
Please read install.html located in the zip file. Please ensure that you delete the uploaded files, before un-installing the product in the vBulletin AdminCP, otherwise you will recieve errors when you edit a usergroup.
Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

More Features
Punch History: Keeps a detailed record of who punched x user (probably something like vbpunch.php?do=history&uid=xxx), along with date, reason, etc.
Do you refresh the page? It uses technology that sends the PM without refreshing the page, so you will not know it is there until you go to a new page or refresh.
Keep in mind that it will not function like this under normal usage. It is actually very rare that you will be "punching" yourself. Why would you give yourself a warning?
Anyway, a refresh of the page would tell you that there was a PM.
