Occasionally we all have users who break the rules. There's a "User Warning" mod just for the occasion. But suppose you want to take a misbehaving user out of the general population ... but don't want to ban him/her until the user has a chance to rebut/explain.
Enter the Amnesty mod....
The Amnesty MOD is designed for administrators who (1) have a need for occasionally restricting users who misbehave and need reminding of forum rules, and (2) who have already installed both the
Events Mod & the
User Groups Mod.
Steps for Use: Create a forum category which only contains one area (I called mine "Correctional Custody"). Then, using the User Groups Mod, create a user group which has access to ONLY that area. Misbehaving users will be assigned to that User Group.
The Amnesty MOD provides administrators with a random-number generator which will select a date from a range that you choose (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year). Then put that date into the Events calendar as a "General Amnesty" date on which you release any/all users who are currently in custody.
