Have looked but then again i'm a blind squirrel.
Is there a sin bin mod or could one be made?
I would like something so problem members could be sin binned for a certain time, say 2 weeks or 4 weeks depending on Admin or Moderators decision. During this time they will be able to read the forum but not post. Would also like it to send an email to that member with a place for Admin or Mods to put an explanation why they have been binned.<

there is a better way about this ;) it's the use of lots of queries in post_info.asp based on strDBNTUserName to detect usergroup... it's just relatively a lot of work. Etymon has also suggested the use of Huws old posting restrictions mod alongside the usergroups mod to do it... i have a copy just don't have time to do anything at the moment.
the reason there will be no quick way to fix post_info is because the entirity of the usergroups mod on the end of the user is based on cookies, when you post with that method the cookie isn't there and thus the usergroups mod is useless as it is.<

PPSSWeb, the fix you provided works, and it also prohibits all non-logged in posting, as Jezmeister said.
However, that might not be such a bad thing either.<

Actually, if you're going through all the work of installing the UserGroup MOD to refine permissions, it wouldn't be a bad idea at all to prohibit users from posting if they are not logged in. Esp. if you tie anything else into the UserGroup permissions.
I've found that being able to post without logging in creates some other interesting issues better discussed at another time in another thread.

Works for me. I can finally use the temp forum ban feature without all these bypasses. <

Glad my topic gave you something to think over 
My forum is restricted to members only so its ok here but it would be funny if it was done so anyone trying to get around the ban and making a post get a warning that the attempt has been detected, email sent to admin and ban extended by a further week lol
