Secretly Ban a User v1.1.0
##########################

This hack is based on the idea of the hellban hack by intellected (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/t35308/s.html) and overgrow's Quick & Easy account banning hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35589).

It is a lot simpler than the hellban hack (although not as extreme!) and does not have the problems of user being able to quote and view the post.

The user is unaware that they are banned. Nobody see's their posts either in the main thread view or when replying to a thread. Admins and mods see their original post with a notice they are banned. They see the thread as though they were a normal user. This fixes the problem of friends warning them they are banned.

Enjoy =)

Screeny of other user's view. The banned user sees their post as completely normal

You dont set usergroupid to 8. You set 8 in this hack to whatever your new usergroup's id is.

In your admin cp, create a new usergroup named eg. "Secretly Banned Users" then choose "modify Secretly Banned Users", but click right mouse button and choose open in new window. Then look at the address line in your browser, at the end of line you'll notice usegroup id of your Secretly Banned Users group. Whatever it is, replace 8 here with that number..
