I run a pretty sizable board, and we have our share of troublemakers and sometimes I have to IP ban them. Sometimes even their whole ISP if they are on dialup. Anyways this causes problems for some of my other users that has a similar IP or the same ISP and they didnt cause any problems!

I was wondering if there is a way, or maybe a hack that you can leave the IP banned but designate specific usernames to still be able to access the boards even if the IP they are on is banned.

Anything I can do?

Just use the miserable user hack on them.... they'll get so annoyed that they wont ever come back! Because it'll take them forever for a page to load!

Believe me, they will stop at nothing to get what they want to say posted lol

I really need something like I stated

Well believe me I was in the same boat as you and the miserable user hack solved my problems because it takes them anywhere from 60 to 90 seconds to load any page on the forum and they only have a 5% chance of posting anything.

IP banning is useless because they can use proxies to get into your forum and keep on registering over and over so its a no end situation there.

I have some unpublished hacks that can be used as addons to my miserable hack. I have come up with a trapping mechanism which you can use to do selective banning on IP's.

And I also have a few other hacks that are alternatives to banning users. My latest one is called the "Underprivileged User" hack that gives a user slow access and deprive them of a lot of nice features on the board.

MaDCaT75, Thank you very much for your kind words.

Anytime

problem is, all they would have to do is register another name and they could post like normal again. IP banning prevents this, and most of them dont know enough to use proxies

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=48710 may be of some good.

If their name's banned, they won't be able to see the forum at all and will assume the forum has been closed.

Also, some time soon I'll be making a hack that adds a member to everyone's ignore list so he'll post away but no one will see him.

That almost always works... except on one obnoxious user. He figured out how to get out, so I wrote a different, better banning hack. :banana:

Im not trying to be rude or anything, but again those hacks you all mentioned are not going to work out for me. Trust me lol

I really need something like I said in my first post.
