I'll see about adding per forum baning in the next version of ipgate. There is already some code in place that works for pages. It wouldn't be hard to code in the requested forum and block it.
Next version is still a ways off and has been under way for approx 3 months. |
ipgate 2.4.4 RC3

But what I'd like to do is for it to be a function like how we allow people into the forums, like on the forum properties page. So in other words, the complete opposite! Instead of choosing who to allow in, and blocking the rest from entry, we choose who we wish to block, and allow everyone else in! Surely this would be a good base function for Snitz  |

you need to tie their banning to their lastIP.
What you can do is create a new include file called inc_banned.asp
Include it in inc_header.asp
The inc_banned.asp includes the following:
A series of if...then statements that include the IP addresses of the people you have banned. In this way you can compare the active user's last IP against the banned IPs. If they are banned just use a response.redirect to like yahoo.com or something like that...my personal choice would be www.badgerbadgerbadger.com because that site tends to make people mad and HIGHLY confused...but I digress...
The real drawback is that this system really only works if you have 1 or 2 people banned. If you have like 50 people...it will really slow down your page loads.

This is what I'd like to do, without using the IP Ban Mod |

| Why don't you just require your own personal validation for new users? It's a built in function for snitz. Do that for a few days and maybe she'll quit bothering you. |

What Mortioli asks is quite simple. No need for banning IP addresses or anything like that. It would just be exactly the same as the bit on the forum properties that allows selected members into a forum but the complete opposite. I'm sure anybody half-competent in ASP coding would be able to come up with something quite easily.
Plus... I'd like to see this one too.  |

I will just jump in here for a sec, Is there a way to ban by MAC address instead of IP ?
Is there any code out there that will see a users MAC address ? Alot of game servers use this to bann problem users.
Just a thought..... |

I went to your site and your not using some of the features.
One mistake that you have is:
1. Why not in E-mail server configuration and use E-mail validation. This way she would need to an email account to get the verification.. with out this i can register all i want using any type of email. By the way you can erase tester and the email is x@xxx.com,tester1 -xx@xxx.com and tester2 xxx@xxx.com
Thats how shes able to keep loggin on. I can make hundreds of accounts by spamming you.
Thats your biggest problem
2. I would also suggest getting the spamming MOD. To eliminate this from happening.
3. In Feature Configuration have IP logging on. This will give you the ip address on each member on each post. can show you if she is using the same ip. Then you can really ban her with IP Banning.
4. another way is when she signs up and she keeps changing IPs. You can go into the admin section and click on member search and then find her and lock her out.dont erase her. What this does is it will eliminate her from using the same email address if you tried the ip blocking.
I really wouldn't give the moderators the abiltiy to ban members. You want your forum to be unbais in opinions not who the moderator likes or dislikes or thinks the person is a problem. You should be the one who decides that.
Follow the above procedures will reduce any problem members.

I don't think a banned member list is going to do a thing. The reason it won't is because of the unlimited names that can be created. And if she keeps doing this you'll just have a list that goes on and on and really it won't stop her.
There no MOD for this Its just setting up your forum with these available road blocks.
Go to your site and look for tester, and tester1 and tester2 How are you going to stop me from keep adding on to that.

Yes it would. Each new name would require a new email address. The individual would soon become bored of creating new Hotmail (or whatever) addresses to post in the forum. Trust me, I've banned enough people who've come back with different names and addresses to know this.
I'm actually surprised that this isn't part of the standard code. It's so simple yet so effective. |

Once I have a banning option on each forum, I will then active the email validation which will hinder people who wish to create duplicate accounts. Even if people were to create other accounts to access the forums that are banned to them, the Moderators would soon realise who the person was, and ban them again. They'd soon get fed up, or they would change their attitude so they would be allowed in.
Like I said in my other post, I'm not the one having trouble with the one person who keeps registering! That's a completely different issue, brought up by 'The Goblin King'
MarkJH, I agree with you. It seems like this would be a great Mod to be implemented into the base code of Snitz. |

Ok this is what i have so far.
You want each moderator to be able to ban certain members from the forums they select.
Now I did a little modifications to the usergroups to get it to work with only one glitch.
with the usergroups you can set up in any combination whose has what access to what forum . So if you want to ban member A from forum 1 or Member A and B from forum 2 you can do that. It even has a list for you.It has an autojoin feature for new members.
Now the bad part is that its for admins only....
What you will have to do is eliminate Rewrite this code to allow moderators
if Session(strCookieURL & "Approval") <> "111111111" then
scriptname = split(request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME"),"/")
strQS = request.querystring
Response.Redirect "admin_login.asp?target=" & Server.URLEncode(scriptname(ubound(scriptname)) & "?" & strQS)
end if
Then have it deny access to the usergroup configuration setup only.
One other problem I found is that when the moderator is in he can deny the member from all the forum so something would have to be done to eliminate that also.

I have quite a few moderators who wish to ban certain members from their forum, but find it hard to do this!
The only way they can do it is if they allow all members except the one they want to ban. The trouble with this is when new members register, they have to allow them access.
Has anyone ever come up with a way of adding a feature to make a list of people they don't want to enter the specific forum?
Thanks, this would be most helpful!

I finally figured it out If im correct in assuming you want the moderator to be able to remove or ban a member from his or her forum(s) and at the same time have new members automatically become a member of that forum(s).
