Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Ban individual user and/or users from sending pm, emails and and visitor messages

This mod will allow you to ban individual user and/or users from sending Personal Messages, Emails and Visitor Messages. It is faster and handier in my opinion than setting up a custom usergroup and disallow them to use pm''s, emails and vm''s.

Anyway, after installing the hack, go to Settings-Options-Private Messaging Options. There you can enable and disable the hack. You can also enter the id of the users that you want to prevent from sending Personal Messages, Emails and Visitor Messages.

Seems to be a nice easy method

How can we edit the message that is shown to the user?

Open the pm_ban.xml file and find the following code:

PHP Code:

<phrase name="ban_pm_message"><![CDATA[An error has occurred {1}! You are not allowed to send Private Messages.]]></phrase> 

And change:

An error has occurred {1}! You are not allowed to send Private Messages.

{1} stands for the username.

Or search after phrase: "You are not allowed to send Private Messages."
And change it...

Great mod!

Suggestion - PM ban selection from user postbit?

By chance, does this work on 3.X?
