Public Banlist

[TheWrath!]

As for the quick admin stuff, that could probably be a mod for 2.0, when there are more moderation features as a default. Although, it's not hard to go to someone's profile and ban them from there, it's just a click away.

true but it wont add the
(User was banned for this post. (In post: <topic name> (Reason "<reason mod/admin chooses>" by <mod/admin)))
to the bottom of the post the person got banned for

it will say why they got banned that you specified when you went in the admin area to ban him.

Not publically....

[TheWrath!]

dj once i got this file coded with my friend alex it can be public

[DJ Biscuit]

Which mod, the quickadmin mod, public banlist or both?

[TheWrath!]

the public banlist

[GC]

This can't be hard. I'll make it if anybody else doesn't want to. ******, this is VERY easy lol

[TheWrath!]

GC if you could try.  I have the stuff but I do not know php coding. my friend alex has had to take off for a couple of days due to a death in the family.

[GC]

ouch.

What I'm going to do is copy everything from the Template_main function in managebans.template.php and make a new one called publicbans.template.php and paste it in, make a source file and add it to the index.php lol not hard. Of course I'm going to remove the delete and modify links there.

[TheWrath!]

alright post me what exactly to do when u get it running.

[DJ Biscuit]

GC, if possible can you also add the quickadmin too?

[GC]

[DJ Biscuit]

Thank you SO much

PUBLIC BANLISTS are the HALLMARK of a LAMEASS SITE or a STUPID SITE WITH STUPID ADMINS (or both!)


LMAO@this thread

how so? It doesn't share IP, hostnames, or how they were banned, just a reason and when. If you think its a retarded mod, then maybe you should come up with a good reason to explain how members were banned on a 20, 000 member site without making hundreds of threads.

I bet you don't even ban hackers or spammer, or even experienced one on your site... keep your unwanted comments away from people who don't have time to waste time.

??

maybe I SHOULDNT who the hell cares?

when they the are banned, they f**king CEASE to exist, PERIOD.

I wrote code that AUTOMATICALLY IP bans idiots if they
1. Come to my site via a proxy. ( i leave some proxies open to the site for testing, but thats it)

2. Initiate a hacking attempt or attempt to upload anything with a payload

3. Attempt to FLOOD or drain the site ( drain=excessive downloads of large files to use bandwidth, flood=excessive requests to overload MySQL/apache)


I've helped tons of people recover and secure their sites, but setting up a "banned" list is for idiots.

I RARELY ban, but if I do, they are just gone forever, thats it, no tribute, NO "vietnam Memorial" with their names, nothing

I've never needed to ban, so this mod would be pointless to use for me. Also, my friend who used to be an admin at my forum abused his banning power too much on the forum by banning Google and a few other members. He left the forums too much anyways after not liking it, so he's not admin anymore anyways.

I totally agree with GC.
Not to sound mean or anything but I don't care if  you rarely ban or why you ban. I just wanted this mod because I am going to run my forum the way I see another forum run.

Well I get alot of spammers and people flaming, and I use temporary bans to put a stop to this.

[Smith6612]

I don't get any spam at all... well, I've only gotten one spam post with no other posts from the member who has yet to return or else they will go boom .
