Excessive PM activity and ignore list mods?

[Barcham]

I've looked through all the mods and hacks and have not found a couple of what I think could be useful mods.

First is a mod to inform a moderator or admin when someone is sending excessive PMs around, which could indicate a spammer. I would imagine being able to set the number of PMs to whatever number a board admin seems valid, and have a post or PM generated when a member exceeds that number. Does anything similar to this exist?

The second thing I've been looking for would be a hack that could tell members who has put them on their ignore list or at least a way for a mod or admin to view this information.

I've looked but come up empty in my search. Or maybe I'm the only one who thinks these would be useful hacks?

Anyways, if anything like this exists, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Wow! Talk about great service!

That ignore mod is exactly what I was looking for. If you could check to see who has a particular member on ignore, it would be perfect but this is really what I was thinking of.

The PM one is close, but I don't want to limit the number of PMs sent, I just want to know who is abusing the PM function so I can keep an eye on them. It's not really a big problem, just something I thought might be useful to have.

Thanks for the help, Chris! Really appreciated!! :up:

Perhaps a minimum post limit for PM sending (say, 1-5 posts before PMs), https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235287

Already done. All my new users go into a group with no PM privileges until they have 5 posts then they are promoted to regular user.

I can live without the PM activity monitor. It's not really that important but would have installed it if it existed. I was just wondering if I had missed it during my searches. As I did the Public Ignore List.


EDIT: Actually I took a look at the mod and decided it does it easier and better than the way I had it configured. So... downloaded and installed! :up:

Thanks again, Chris!
