I have a member that is currently posting in the forum then deleting the post just to increase their post count's. I have sat and watched him do it from active users, seen new post, then it's gone. Have reduced post count in profile then get moaning pm's from him, then he goes and does it again.
I was wondering if anyone could help with a line of code or the edit for the exisiting code to go in post.asp (is it?) that would check for members id before increasing the post count and if it was that member ID then -1 from the post count? tongue
A bit messy I know but would be apreciated if anyone could help!<

Ah so the proposed change would go in here somewhere? Maybe an if, else statement. Sorry my asp knowledge is very bad.
sub doUCount(sUser_Name)
'## Forum_SQL - Update Total Post for user
strSql = "UPDATE " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS "
strSql = strSql & " SET M_POSTS = M_POSTS + 1 "
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strDBNTSQLName & " = '" & ChkString(sUser_Name, "SQLString") & "'"

my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
end sub<

You have a whole lot more patience than me. He'd get one warning then I'd push the button. shockbigsmile

Or as punishment (after a warning of course) you could use the UserGroup MOD to set his access to all forums to "Read Only" for a week...<

my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
end sub
Even though I agree with the previous comments about locking him without many hesitations, you could code it like this:
Code:

sub doUCount(sUser_Name)
	'## Forum_SQL - Update Total Post for user
	strSql = "UPDATE " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS "
	strSql = strSql & " SET M_POSTS = M_POSTS + 1 "
	strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strDBNTSQLName & " = '" & ChkString(sUser_Name, "SQLString") & "'"
        If MemberId<>xxx then
	my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
        end if
end sub

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that only execute the query if the Member ID is the one in question? thereby only incrementing that member's post count?<

Thanks for the code. I'm getting grief now of other members cos my co Admin decided to put him on probation for 4 weeks! Ah well.
Would that edit result in no post increase as I was thinking of a Minus post count for that 1 user?
AnonJr I use usergroups to make a "Probation Area" They don't even get to see the other forums and in conjuction with the IP gate mod they get blocked from accessing all PM related pages bigsmile<

A better option may be to decrement a member's post count if one of their posts is deleted either by themself or a staff member. This way, only the legitimate posts this particular member made would be counted towards their total. For even more fun, don't tell anyone what you've done and watch htis member post & delete fruitlessly for a while before they realise what you've done! wink
I posted the necessary changes to pop_delete.asp a while back, you should be able to find them with a search.
