Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had started working on/completed a Time Out for Member MOD? Basically it would be a MOD that would allow Admins/Moderators to lock a user’s account for a predetermined amount of time if they played up.
I know it would not stop users from re-registering and posting, but it would stop the users ID from having posts created by them until the ban date/time has passed.
I have a few ideas on what I would like to do, but if someone is working on such a MOD, it would be pointless for me to start off building the "wheel" again, so to speak.
My idea would be a ban as such:
1st offence - 1 week
2nd offence - 1 month
3rd offence - 3 months
4th offence - 6 months
5th offence - 12 months
6th offence - (left blank intentionally, because it would be life time ban)
Each time that the user tried to logon during the "Time Out" they would be redirected to another page stating that they had been placed in "Time Out", the reason for the "Time Out" and how long they have left on the "Time Out". There would also be a table after the reason showing what they faced with further "Time Outs" if they continued.
Of course the "Time Out" period would automatically allow the user to log back in when the "Time Out" was completed, hold the previous "Time Out" to show how many warnings the user has had in the past, what the last one was for, and by whom it was put in to “Time Out”.
If someone is doing such a MOD, or would like to attempt to do it, then please let me know. I would like to have a MOD like this for a couple of my sites and a friend’s site and will do it, if no one wants to do it.
