Please help me!! >.<

I have a pretty active forum but place strict rules over them. However, some members are asking for a "spam forum" The only problem is, I have a "gil" hack from Bitsys's battle hack and I don't want them to gain any points or posts for every post they place in the spam forum...

Can someone help me??
Thanks!! :glasses:

Just make posts in that forum not count. Then edit the newthread.php and newreply.php files to exclude that forum from gaining points.

Sorry for being a newbie but how exactly do I edit newthread.php and new reply.php

The PHP part is this:

PHP Code:

  // Itemshop code by Mewtwo and Battle Code by Bitsys
  if($foruminfo[countposts]) {
  $options=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT padd,pointfield,lesanestore FROM items_options");
  if(!$options[2]) {
    $pointfield="$options[pointfield]";
    if($pointfield) {
      $points = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT $pointfield FROM userfield WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
      $DB_site->query("UPDATE userfield SET $pointfield=$points[0]+$options[padd] WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
    }
  }
  $battleopt = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT givepostexp, expperpost FROM battle_options");
  If($battleopt[givepostexp] == 1 && $battleopt[expperpost] > 0)
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET xp=xp+$battleopt[expperpost] WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
  }
  // End Itemshop code by Mewtwo and Battle Code by Bitsys

the code is correct already:

if($foruminfo[countposts]) {

so just disable count posts in that forum via your acp and it won't add points to a users postcount also
