The farewell hack, aka the AutoBahn
We have had some unruly members on our site lately. and due to their actions they were given temporaty bans by my moderators. I have created a time based hack that allows my moderators to ban a user in the form of misery, starvation, etc..., for any period between 1 hour to 7 days.
When these users come back from their ban, some of them have actually been so mad that they have made farewell posts saying how much they hate the site, or this is going to be their last post, or they have requested to be removed from the user list, and so on. So to make matters more interesting, I came up with the idea of the AutoBahn hack. :laugh: This hack scans the subject and the message body of a new thread for certain phrase patterns and if it is able to match one or more patterns it posts an auto reply with the userID of my Robot Administrator stating the following: Quote:
What I need to do as a follow up is to have the hack send them an Email notice informing that they have been banned. I had one of my users try this out last night. Worked like a charm. |

Looks great. Very good idea. I wouldn't like to be a bad member on your site.
Would you have to install the whole AI Bot though? Because it's about 30Mb of SQL. Craig |

Thank you guys for your kind words.
Mist, it was a fun little project. I tried it on myself first. :laugh::banana: Craigr, The whole hack is a 63 line PHP file. |

It would be perfect if it updated the bots post count and last post
Are you planning on releasing it here? Looks like it'll be a hit if you do. I, for one, would install it. |

Link14716, it would be a one liner to update the Bot's post count. But then again, he could be any old user on the board. If I release the hack, I will have to add a couple more lines of code to replace his info with user ID 1.
I am going to add Email notification to this hack, this way the user will actually receive a formal notice that he/she has been banned. I didn't really think much of this hack. So as a result I hadn't really planned on releasing this. But I can release it if you guys are interested. On a different note, It cracks me up everytime I think my name is being associated with banning on this board. :laugh::banana: |

I am interested in this, looks like a great hack. It would be nice of you to release it. |
