Hi All, I am need of some help please.
We have one user on our forums that likes to "cause trouble" and generally annoy people. I would like to achieve the following, but I am no coder. I would very much appreciate any help....
1. I would like to be able to "Mark" a user account as a problem user in their profile (admin option only).
2. I would like this users posts to only be then visible to themself.
3. Other users apart from Admins / Moderators would not see the posts this user makes. However, Admins / Moderators would see this users posts highlighted in some way.
Please help :) I will be entirely in the debt of the person(s) who help me...
For the record, I have searched but could not find anything specific on this issue. Snitzbitz also did not have any Mod from what I can see.
Cheers,
N |

I have found Maestaros mod that allows users to do this.... but I wonder if this can be modded to allow admins set users into that list...

Hi Again, sorry for the multiple posts...
I have now implemented this and I am happy it is working. However, I am desperate to get another feature on this mod. Basically, I would like another option (in the admin section) that allows administrators to add a user to a "Ultimate Ignore" list. When the user is on this list regular user do not even see that users posts (with any options). Moderators and Admins would continue to have the functions they do on the Mod right now.
Possible?

I'd really like this also. What's the mod called that you use now?

Okay, nice! I haven't looked at the mod yet but I suppose you could just take all edits where a user can add other users to the ignore-list and make those edits "admin-only" then change the code so that ALL users are affected by admins ignore-list?

I would have thought something like this... but remember... I am no coder :) I fix servers :)
I suppose I am really saying that I would like someone with ASP skill to take this and expand on it. I cannot tell you how much it would have been required last week on our forum.

I like the idea, but I won't have the time to give it a try until at least a week from now...
AND, I'm no coder either but I manage quite well with copy/paste =)

Seems like the Delete button would suffice?
On another topic- I would like to see this MOD ignore the user's signature tag. Our troublemakers find out everyone is ignoring them so they start putting offensive text or huge images in their signature tag. I'm trying to add a "maxlength" to the signature form but that won't stop the image issue.
What say? Anyone know what line would ignore the sig? |

Wow... you must be a very tolerant person! If anyone did that to me, they'd meet the IPGate mod real fast.

I wrote a mod to do this (not sure about the highlight) some time ago. I actually had it zipped up ready to release it as a beta mod here. I decided against it though. Hiding the users post was easy, but getting the last post stuff was a bear and far to complicated. So I decided not to post the mod.
I will release the code changes for hiding the posts if anyone interested. It just involves adding another user level and is not that difficult to do. |

As an administrator of many types of systems, I feel deleting the posts would remove any record of the person causing the offense. Therefore I tell all of my moderators to never delete anything. I created a couple of features that allow the removal of posts into a bit bucket type of hidden thread where it keeps a record of the original post along with some details as to which moderator removed it and when. Sample screenshot of my bit bucket thread which is only viewable by moderators:
We also have another administrative feature that allows use to use certain tags to add hidden comments made by moderators which are only viewable by moderators. We use this for questionable actions on certain discussions as well as using it to hide portions of a members content. White text in blue background is only visible to moderators:
It all falls back on not wanting to delete anything that may need referencing later, especially for disciplinary reasons.

The way I handled the large images in the signature area was to encapsulate the signature within a <div> which I then set the attributes to a max height of 100px. Even though the image can be larger than that it will only show 100 pixels of it in height, meaning it will be cut off. This doesn't resolve the issue of the size of the image but what I have found is that they get irritated and then modify their signature. It's worked out quite well... better than setting a definitive length for signatures.
Look at line 00918 here: http://www.burningsoulsforum.com/forum/vc.asp?source=topic.asp&numbered=yes&line=918#918 |

Nice work Davye =) I solved it by creating a hidden forum where all offending posts are moved but your solution is much better!
