Ok not a mod as such, just a small piece of code I think, maybe wrong but here is my thought.
I have an annoying member which I'm considering banning soon. Don't fancy the IP mods and I think I may have a solution if it would work.
My theory is to update the database in my test forum to match the live forum. I use the portal mod with which I use this
<% Response.Redirect "/forum/portal.asp" %>
as default.asp in the root.
Now would it be possible as the user comes in this way to check their member id from the cookie and if it was a certain user to divert them to the test forum?  Let them post away in a ghost town? Just for a week or two anyway.
Sorry if this is in the archives, I admit I didn't search but I was to excited with this idea.
Thanks to anyone who can help

Shouldn't be too hard, but you would have to add a piece of code like:
if rs("Member_ID") = "XXX" then
Something along those lines...but all in all the IP Mod would be so much better and easier.
Because you will now keep a test forum live to direct one user to that forum?
What if he finds out something's fishy and clears cookies and registers under a new account?
IP Ban is not bulletproof, but it's waaaay better than this.
But, if you want that, then you only need a code to extract the id from the cookie (if possible) or to wait till he/she has logged in for the code to kick in and redirect.

Of course, that is provided they log in in the first place... and that they don't clear their cookies... and that they are oblivious to the different URL...
A simple intervention might be a better idea, or use the User Group MOD to limit them to "read-only" for a period. I think that might be a bit easier - and more painful. < |

Ah the user group mod will allow him to view but not post? That would be helpful. Thank's I will give it a whirl.
I still think the ghost town idea would have been cool < |

| I've heard of people using the UserGroup MOD like that before. They had a special group for people who couldn't play nice, but weren't bad enough to ban outright. If I remember right, they set it with read-only on all the forums.< |

OK I found a link for download in the archives but there was a bit of confusion regarding the mod on 3.4.05. Has anyone installed this on the latest version? I noticed a code change towards the end of the archived topic. Maybe the zip was updated?
I'm checking over the install and noticed that there is also a nice guide on setup Looks like this will also serve a request from a moderator to sort of set a read only forum to general members with write access for other members.
AnonJr Oh yes, and I will have a naughty corner
