Idiot Ban - Make fun of your troublesome users...

Who says banned people don't deserve a parting gift?

Show your banned members you care by sending them a little greeting - everytime they login to their account :devious:

This is similiar to Brad.Loo's hack in which his displays a 404 error, however this one redirects the user to a set flash animation making fun of the user. How Glorious!

Special thanks to Paul M for the redirection help :nervous:

how to install?

PHP Code:

1.Unzip the file
2.Upload the file "youare.swf" to the root directory (forum)
3.Install the plug-in
4.Harrass your banned users until they cry :ermm: 

how do i change the page i want them to be redirected to? (how do i change the flash movie?)

PHP Code:

1.Open the file banidiot.xml
2.Change the redirection name from "youare.swf" to the new file.
3.Continue harrassing the banned until they beg to come back 

how can i demo test this?
www.werebored.com/forum

PHP Code:

Username: test
Password: test

Haha, any chance in doing this for 3.0.7? I havent even looked at the code it might not need to be ported.

I't sends you to werebored.com/youare.swf, but it has to be werebored.com/forum/youare.swf

Btw, I would also like to see this for 3.0.7

You mean it's coming up with a 404 error when using the demo account? I just logged in and it worked fine :ninja:

I would have, but then I would lose the functionality of turning it on and off :ermm:
Get what I mean? May as well take advantage of the new plugin system all we can...

Port this to vB 3.0.7

But where's the fun in having to actually edit files? :speechless: And you can't enable/disable it either.

Anyways I'll consider doing it tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments.
