User Thread Banning (Includes Time Banning Feature)
By Shaolyen email: [email protected] msn: [email protected] Brief intro: ------------------------ This hack enables mods, supermods and administrators to ban users from viewing OR just replying to specific threads. It also allows users to be banned from threads for specified amount of time. After this time has expired, they will gain access/be able to post again. It adds a small link underneath the "Posts: #" in the postbit template. Providing the user who posted did not start the thread, a "[Thread Ban This User]" link will appear. (Only to mods, super mods and admins.) For users who are already banned from a thread, an "[Unban This User]" link will appear. Forum leaders cannot be banned from threads. (The link will not appear in their posts.) When a forum leader clicks on the "[Thread Ban This User]" link, they are taken to another page where they can: a) choose whether the user can read the thread, or just not reply to it. b) choose the length of the user's ban (in days). c) type in a reason for the user's thread ban. This is displayed when the user tried to access or reply to the thread. When a user tries to access a thread or reply to one when banned, the error message will provide a link to send a PM to the moderator who banned them. This is something that some people might not like - but if they're too scared to own up and explain why they banned the user from the thread in the first place, maybe they shouldn't be moderating! (If it really bothers some people, I can provide them with the lines of code they need to find and delete.) A new page in the AdminCP will allow the admin to check all of the current bans, as well as view archived ones. The reason for the ban will be displayed in the Admin CP when the cursor passes over the "Reason" link. Enjoy.  Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

I requested it there a long time ago, MUG posted a version of it, but it didn't have the features which Dan_UPC was going to add into it, however he's just gone somewhere now... So i'm glad someone has released it finally, well done John.

Wow, this was requested a while ago (By N9ne
). I saw it but never really thought it would be necessary. It does look cool though, and since seeing his request, there have been a few times that I came back here to see if anyone had released it because I needed it at the time. Right now I have all my "problems" straightened out though, but rest assured next time someone needs to be banned from a specific thread, I'll install this. Just have some others that I have to get to first.Do you know how many queries (if any) this adds to non-thread banned users? Any? Does it add any to anyone? Just wondering.

lol, people always ask about extra queries, and I wonder how many people have actually had a problem with too many queries actually slowing down their board. (Now I've said that, I'm sure people will start giving me examples!)
As far as I can remember (I wrote this hack a week or two ago), it adds 1 query to showthread.php and one to forumdisplay.php - if any at all. No members have liked this post.

Show me a board with the itemshop hack and I'll show you a depressed server.
Hmm... I know it can be done fairly easily without any queries... Well, that is without the time ban added to it, at least. Nice job.

The actual ban is query free.
The query is used to check whether the user's time ban is over or not. No members have liked this post.

Great hack! I have been using it for almost a week now
Easy to install and puts those more "vocal" people on your board in check.

What about mods/admins holding a grudge?
You said the link doesnt appear in the admin/mod/supermod postbit, but what if the mod/admin/supermod copies another link and changes certain aspects of it to suit the banning of a mod? Is this exploitable? I haven't downloaded it yet, but the way you explained that part makes me belive that feature can be exploited. Dave.

I'm getting a blank page on the list in the admin cp and the link isn't changing to unban when I've banned someone in postbit. I've installed a fair few hacks, I don't think I did much wrong...
