Hello,
I'd like to offer a suggestion for a slight modification of the Forum Edit function.

Sometimes, special circumstances, require special Admin Control.

In the Forum Edit Function, the Admin is allowed to select what type of user Access is available.

Basically, the options are All Visitors, Allowed members, visible or hidden etc...

With the Allowed Members option, the Admin can select members from the Registered Guests to be included in a particular Forum. In effect, it's a Selection of just those Guests that the Admin is willing to allow to access that forum. But, what if the Admin needs to be able to allow ALL Guests to access a particular forum, EXCEPT certain ones? How does he prevent certain Guests from accessing a forum without either making the Forum PRIVATE, or, blocking the IP of a user?

I have that situation on my board. I do not want to block IPs or make a forum PRIVATE. And, yet, I'd like to have the option and the degree of control to block certain ones from accessing a PUBLIC forum.

I don't want to delete their membership, or, block their IP, or make the forum private. And, yes, I do realize that all they would have to do is re-register as a new guest and they would have access again. (I'm willing to keep on cutting their access as often as it takes)

What I'd like to see is a modification of the Forum Edit Function that would allow a simple REVERSE of the Allowed Members option.

In addition to the selection of ALL Visitors, I'd like to see an option for All Visitors EXCEPT and then let the Admin pick the names to EXCLUDE from a forum.

I can't create this myself, and, I'm probably the only one who needs it. At least, right now. But, I do firmly believe that if created, this small mod would be immensely helpful for all Admins at some point along the way. And, it would certainly help me right now.

If any one wants to tackle it, I'll gladly beta test it.

I'm using Serverhacker Code, so, that may be a little different than the standard Snitz.

Thank all of you for your consideration.
