Visual Warning Mod

[Eleglin]

I have always used both user id and ip ban and it hasn't caused any problems.. And possibility that the same IP is used by several users is pretty small..

If some members use AOL, these possibilities are much greater.
So it is the case in France, I supposed it's the same in other countries.
This modification wouldn't be safe, I think.

Ban IP or host name will not stop them to spam your forum. Advanced users can visit your forum by other ways.

Elegin...   I always ban by username, host, email and IP...

yes, the user can still get aorund the ban... but that takes care of most of the users with issues since it's not usualyl worth their time and effort to come back..

[Eleglin]

As far as I know, ban IP is useless and dangerous.
Useless because the ban person can have a floating IP (still majority of the connections in France) and thus return after a simple ban IP. Moreover, IPs are erased at the end of month.
As I said, some members can have the same IP (a lot of AOL users in France). When you ban one, you can ban them too. So, I am not convinced.

Now imagine that the admin or other guys are ban : it could be a problem, isn't it ?

IPs are erased at the end of every month?

not so in the US...   My computer has had the same IP since I started with my host... 3 years ago...

Same here... Dial-up IP banning is bad though.. I agree on that one.. The high speed users are the ones most effected by an IP banning. I have 13 users on AOL and their IP's get shuffled more than a deck of cards at a poker tournament...

Anyone can install on SoftMC theme?

Ok, so I lied - I thought because I got it installed it was working - took me a few days to realize that, in fact, no character images were showing up at registration, so no one could get through the registration process. 

I disabled all the built in visual verifications (1.1.1) and tried installing the mod - got the following error when clicking on "Register":

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_verification_settings() (previously declared in /home/sou10001/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1751) : eval()'d code:701) in /home/sou10001/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1751) : eval()'d code on line 885

Uninstalling the mod caused a failure in the personalmessage.php file, but it did uninstall otherwise.

So now I'm stumped - and being swamped by spambots again.  Suggestions?

Is it possible to set it so that the user gets banned automatically after receiving THREE warnings? Also, would you be able to un-ban them afterwards easily enough?

Sorry, I'm just a bit worried about installign this mod...

[perplexed]

question - at stage three, 3) Mute - instant message and the inability to post polls or messages.

Can a member still post in the ultimate shoutbox?  If so, could that be prevented also?

Same for personal messages?

I tried installing it to 1.1.1 and got the following message:

Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager.

which code we should manualy replace in post.php and where exactly in that file?

I figured out my problem and got it installed with no problems. But I have a new question. I have the board set to the Babylon theme. The warning buttons will not show up with that theme with each post. They will show up in the default theme. I'd like to use the Babylon theme. What can I do to get them to show up using the Babylon theme?

[Zenigata]

Open the package and follow the code in VisualWarning_SMF11.
