The ever popular "miserable users" hack for vb 3.8. Basically a way to really annoy anyone you don't want visiting your forum. This version is based on the vb 3.7 version. Credit to Zzed for the original idea. When classed as miserable, a member suffers ; 1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default). 2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default). 3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default). 4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default). 5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default). 6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default). 7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page. Note: All the above options are set in the vBulletin Options. To install this hack simply download the xml file to your pc and then import it into vbulletin as a product - then create your 'miserable users' usergroup and set the value of this group, and your preferred other settings, in the hacks settings area (vBulletin Oprions > Miserable Users). To make a member suffer just edit their profile to add them to the miserable users group (it will work as either the primary group or as a secondary group). History: v3.8.001 - Initial vB 3.8 release. Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Show Your Support

I see, any chance you would be able to make this option for future release?
Also, does this mod use cookies? I mean, If the user with the added IP registers with a new IP, would there be cookies saved on the same computer telling it to make this user also miserable? No members have liked this post.

Great mod Paul. This is far more better than banning.

This should be mod of the century!
I've been using it for 3 years. IMO it is the best weapon in an owner's arsenal ![]() On a side note... I've been using 2.0 and it was working with 3.8.1. I just upgraded to the current MU version. When the update completed I had lost all my IP's in the MU settings. I had to manual add all my IP's to the list. Not a big deal, but I thought others might want to know. Keep up the great work!

I love this mod! I just installed it. I have a test user account that I added to the miserable group, when I logged in with this user I saw it in action.. GREAT! However... you say it's based on IP and username. Well, I went to log back into my admin account and all I got was "database error". I thought somehow my db got screwed up. I went into mysql and removed my test user account from the miserable group and whalla, I was able to log in again with my admin account. Looks to me that it only looks at IPs, not usernames. Is that possible?
I would love to be able to have a list of URLs to redirect to.. I've got a guy that's on the opposite political spectrum from me and I would love to send him to various (appears random) web sites of the opposite persuasion. ![]() . No members have liked this post.
