Information
Sometimes there are users who keep ignoring warnings or keep trolling in a specific forum section, maybe it's not worth a forum ban so you want to give them a ban from that specific forum section only.

This plugin will make it possible to ban specific users from specific forum sections. By default, vBulletin only makes it possible for administrators to block a users access to specific forum sections through access masks.

The following settings are present in this plugin:
  • Select which specific usergroups can ban users in all forum sections.
  • Enable whether regular moderators who have powers in specific forum sections can ban people from these forum section.
  • Choose whether:
    • Ban only from forumdisplay. (can still see thread contents in forum section)
    • Ban from forum section and threads in the forum section.
    • Ban from threads in the forum section. (can still see forumdisplay)

So how do I ban someone from a forum section?
In a thread, simply click on the username in the postbit of the user you want to ban and click on the issue ban button.
Anyone who has permission to ban people from forum sections can not be banned by others from the forum section.

You can unban someone from a forum section the same way.



Installation
1. Upload files in UPLOAD folder to root of your forum.
2. Import the XML file in the IMPORT folder.
3. Go to AdminCP > Settings > Options > Forum Section Ban - Technidev > configure to your needs.

Upgrade
If you want to upgrade from a previous version then all you have to do is re-upload the files in the UPLOAD folder.

Version History
1.0: Initial release.
1.1: Fixed bug of table name not existing when you use a table prefix.

It should work on all of them, but since I only tested it on 4.2.* I can't guarantee that it will work properly on all previous versions.

Quick question,

"Ban from threads in the forum section. (can still see forumdisplay)"

Does this include the ability to ban/suspend users from viewing a single thread, or all threads?

That option will ban the user from all threads that belong in the forum section.
However, they can still see forumdisplay, the page that lists all the threads.

This plugin is not used to ban someone from a single thread. You can use this plugin for that: https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=259017

I'll work on a new version that has a page in the AdminCP to overview all bans.

When I put up the .xml it makes it so we get a database error whenever we enter a thread. Any ideas?

Could you paste the database error (hide any sensitive information such as the IP, database name, etc.) here?

Thanks. I uploaded a new version (1.1) that should fix that bug.
Let me know if it fixes it.
