I need to ban my first member after operation of two years. I do not have a banning mod and have viewed a couple of them here.
What advice do you have on which is preferable and why?
Thank you for taking the time to help me consider. |

I don't use any of the ban MODs. I simply lock their account, and then add their IP to an if/then statement that I put on register.asp.
The if/then is:
if IP = XXX then
response.redirect "default.asp"
end if

| That sounds like a good plan. |

| If you have access to your own web server, you can also lock out an ip address at the IIS level. |

It's a wasted day if you don't spend at least part of it flying upside down. |

I was advised to check this forum.
I, too, need to ban a member, but, not from my entire board, just one forum.
Here is what I posted elsewhere:
quote:
What I'd like to be able to do is have some way of preventing access to a particular forum on my board, while allowing accees to all the others.
(without making the forum private)... this would have to be some sort of mod to allow selective banning based on member name, e-mail address, or some other criteria (or combination thereof). Does anyone have such a wonderful MOD to share? One of my moderators has requested that I Ban a user from his forum, and, I don't mind doing that, but, I'd rather not ban the user from the rest of the board. Is this type mod possible? Can it be done? I think this would be a real addition to the flexibility of Snitz! Any help will be appreicated. Please e-mail me. Thanks!

Yes, I'm familiar with making forums private and yes, I do have one private forum, but, this mod would be unique,(unless it already exists)... it would be sort of like the option that allows the admin to select the names of the people that CAN access the forum... only in reverse... selecting the names of those who 'cannot' access it.
Could the existing code that allows selecting the names of those who can access the forum be modified slightly to accomplish the reverse?
I hope that it is possible and if it is, please direct me to it.
Thanks!

You can add the same code I posted above to the topics.asp page.
Just modify it to something like this:
if IP = XXX AND Forum_ID = YYY then
response.redirect "default.asp"
end if

Thanks Aaron,
That would probably work, however, I'm trying to accomplish this 'banning' without blocking someone by their IP. Plus, I would have to edit the topics.asp file each time I wanted to ban someone.
I'm looking for a way to modify the 'edit forum' function to allow me to simply select a user name and choose to have them banned from that particular forum.
Currently, that function allows forum members to be selected to be allowed access, but, I need just the reverse of that. Of course, I could just 'allow' everyone except the one I want to ban, but, then, any new members would also be banned as well.(until I allowed them access). I think it would be more convenient (at least in my circumstances) to simply allow all except the ones I choose to ban.
I do appreciate the suggestion though. If you have suggestions on how I might accomplish what I described above, please let me know. I bet there are others who would like this flexibility as well.
Thanks, |

Change IP = XXX to MemberID = XXX.
You can create a database table that stores memberids that you want to ban and the topic. Then just make the XXX a variable pulled from that table.

This does not work very well unless the user has a staic IP |

Thanks Aaron, I'll keep these possibilities in mind. My biggest problem is, I'm not an .ASP Programmer and I have no clue as to how I might go about doing these things. I've successfully installed MODS that were built by others, but, as far as creating tables and storing and accessing the variables in them goes, I'm in the dark. But, I DO appreciate the help. |
