Vacation Self Bans

Another reason why I should spend my OMC and upgrade to ep1c... or ub3r... hmm.
Quote:Now I'm just waiting to see someone self vaca ban so I can see if they come up as the ban issuer.

It shows themselves in the bans.php as the ban issuer.

I lifted the few bans that I know idiots made to test it. :)

It's obviously working just fine.

Quote:This is a clever plugin. But at same time, seems rather dangerous if it is indeed buggy.

I thoroughly tested and coded while sober. Should be good.

Quote:You don't think this feature will be prone to abuse or anything of that nature in the slightest way?

If your account gets stolen maybe. When I add more gauth features (soon people soon) I may require 2FA to avoid that problem.

Quote: Is there a warning when you click on "Self-ban"? I don't want to risk trying clicking on it.

Yes, there is a javascript popup to confirm but I don't recommend you toy with this plugin too much.

Quote:Say someone went over to someones house and banned their friend for 6 months as a joke or something.

You punch your friend in the face and tell him to fuck off.
Doesn't being banned remove you from your groups?
Does this do the same?

When you're banned in MyBB it takes your existing groups and inserts them into the DB for retrieval when the ban is lifted. Sometimes though this craps out and I think it's a conflict somewhere with updating bans or maybe getting banned during the upgrade process. Still trying to track it down because a couple 3p1c lost their upgrade after recent bans were lifted. I'll figure it out.
Glad to see things getting automated.
Wow, this is brilliant, nice job Omni, this will help staff a ton.

Ooo, I've seen this suggested so many times in the past, I'm glad you decided to implement this :D.

I can't wait for people to just "Test" it and ban themselves.
I did a self ban for 3 days earlier, just logged in to check if it had worked as I didn't check after applying the ban and I had no ban :/

Omni lifted the ban for the people that tested it if you look a few posts up.

Omniscient might have lifted your ban. 😁

This is what I suggested. Great!

I havent tried but is there any confirmation popup when you click the button? Otherwise, add that.

There is a JS pop up for confirmation. I wouldn't toy around with it though.

Great news.

Can't wait to see what else you get done this weekend.

You don't see a lot of admins of big communities putting in this kind of dedication. I do agree though that we'll need 2FA because as soon as someone compromises an account once they're done doing their business they'll ban the account. Regardless, good job! 🙂

One of my friends is crazy enough to stab me, that's just asking for trouble.
