Banned Users

[Jaejoong1]

Is there anyway to disallow currently banned users from registering again?

I dont want to ban their IPs as i may forget to unban them after the temporary ban.

A little bump?

I think this is what you're looking for sir.

We use it on 3.8.1 and love it.

I'm not trying to prevent them from registering, i'm simply trying to make it so that their IPs are banned while they're temp banned .

You could try this: create a new plugin using hook register_start and this code:

$banned_result = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave(
"SELECT * FROM 
    (SELECT userid, ipaddress FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE usergroupid = 8) AS banned
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post ON (post.userid = banned.userid)
   WHERE banned.ipaddress = '" . IPADDRESS . "' OR post.ipaddress = '" . IPADDRESS . "'
   LIMIT 1");

if ($banned_result)
{
standard_error("You cannot register from this ip");
// to use a phrase here, change to standard_error(fetch_error('phrase_name'));
}

I've only done very basic testing.
