An alternative to banning: Miserable Users
Developer Last Online: Feb 2012 
This modification is in the archives.
This hack is an alternative to banning a user. As the name suggests a user who
gets hit with this hack will become truly miserable while trying to access your board. So here is what really happens to a miserable user: - There is a random 60-120 second delay each time they click on a link. - 90% of times they have no search engine acccess. - 75% of the times they get the server too busy error. If they don't get the server too busy error: - 50% of the times they may get a blank page - 30% of the times they may get forwarded to the forum main page - 20% of the time they may be able to see the page they asked for. after doing all the math in actuality they have only a 5% chance of seeing the page they clicked on. What kills them is the time they have to wait before anything happens. I actually once tracked a miserable user and watched him suffer for 2 whole hours before he was able to make a simple post. This hack is considered one of the most sadistic hacks on my board.  The hack allows you to make your user miserable via the admin CP. It also allows you to search for all miserable users through the admin CP as well. Also in showthread.php, it appends a red status that is only visibly to admins and mods stating that a user is miserable. Tables affected by this hack: user Files affected by this hack: global.php, showthread.php, admin/user.php Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

LOL You can always try and log into your Admin CP to get around the misery hack, and set yourself back to normal. No members have liked this post.

I'm going to install this, because we have a few users who connect from a large number of different IP's so we can't ban them. It would be even better if we could set a level of how miserable we want the user. Like 1 for just the occasional error and short delays, or 10 for full-on misery.
Great hack, my mods are begging me to install! No members have liked this post.

Ok, I got it to say "List Miserable Users" at the top of the user.php page when it's accessed. But how do I make a user miserable? Where is the "switch" for that?
