Ignore List prevents users from posting in threads

This hack should help lessen your moderation load by allowing users to somewhat moderate their own threads. When someone hits newreply to make a post, it checks the original thread poster's ignore list. If the person is on the ignore list, they cannot post in the thread.

Open newreply.php, find:

PHP Code:

$bbuserinfo['userid']==$threadinfo['postuserid'])) {
  show_nopermission();
} 

Under that add:

PHP Code:

// HACK: REPLY IGNORE
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']>0 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=6 and 
$bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=5 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=45 and $threadinfo['postuserid']>0) {
    $firstposter=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username,ignorelist 
FROM user WHERE userid='$threadinfo[postuserid]'");
    $ignorelist = explode(' ', $firstposter['ignorelist']);
    while ( list($key, $val)=each($ignorelist) ) {
      $ignore[$val] = 1;
    }
    if ($ignore[$bbuserinfo[userid]]) {
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_ignoredreply")."\");");
    }
}
// END: REPLY IGNORE 

Create a new template called "error_ignoredreply":

The original poster of this topic, $firstposter[username], has you on their ignore list. You are unable to reply to the threads they start.

Done!

Hehehe, fun fun. I will install it right now. I thought of a nice add to this either you or I can make. But how about user on ignor list cant read started thread?

[Remi]

Can't he/she just use the quote butten to reply?

Thanks

[Recluse]

quote uses the newreply.php. so it "should" also stop them from posting, same with quickreply

[LouChipher]

Can post the Admin/Mod?!

[Overgrow]

Normally you can't ignore mods/admins right? Anyway, added the check so it won't bother doing it if you're a mod or admin-- just replace the code above again with the edited code in the first post.

neo-- go for it, I don't mind if they read it.

quotes-- agreed, since it also hits newreply, it will be stopped.

Great, installed here.

Does this hack work under 2.3? I can't find the original text to be replaced in newreply.php.

[magnus]

Wow, I know this is an oldie.. but can someone PLEASE port this to work on newer versions? I *really* need this.

Give it a try ... just make a backup copy of your newreply.php file before you put the code above in!
