It cleans the place up. There is value in that.

I still think some of you guys are a touch too... sensitive.

But eh... whatever floats your guys' boats, I suppose. To each his own and all that jazz.

I'm gonna go spend some time in the real world. I've about had enough of this teenager drama.

And all this is for what? To ignore people like me? I've preempted this effort by starting my own blog.

The script had one serious bug - it would remove threads where trolls were the ones to post last, it's fixed now so update your script, sirs.

Cheers...

How about giving him a one-day waiting period between submitting a new thread and allowing him to finally approve it? That way, he has time to calm down and reconsider his tone and wording.

There is a VB hack called "miserable user"...

When classed as miserable, a member suffers ;

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

Note: All the above options are set in the vBulletin Options.

To install this hack simply download the xml file to your pc and then import it into vbulletin as a product - then create your 'miserable users' usergroup and set the value of this group, and your preferred other settings, in the hacks settings area (vBulletin Oprions > Miserable Users). To make a member suffer just edit their profile to add them to the miserable users group (it will work as either the primary group or as a secondary group).

Oh man... we've had to use this at Flashkit. It was... funny to see how they tried to finish one sentence.

Isn't it easier to simply set a limit on the number of posts/comments a user can make in a single day?
