I brought this up as a request before.
Why not have a warning system that displays in a meter or 'rank' style images to show the severity of their warning status, shadowed 'none' images if no warning, 10%, 20% etc.
This can be displayed in the forum under the users name/avatar/rank.

Also have this in the Users part of the administration panel so that Administrators can keep track of their users that have been breaking the rules on the site.

ooh... now that is a cool idea!

Upon warning the user the administrator puts the reason as to why they were warned for following up upon the situation and a private message is also sent to the user outlining as to why they were warned.

Hmm what about this:

in the cms_users table a field: 'user_warnings' TINYINT(1)

then in admin you can set max user warnings say 10
A admin or moderator can give a yellow or red card the user when he does something.

yellow: 1 warning
red: 2 warnings

ofcourse a green card will reduce his warnings with 1

A admin/moderator can see how much warnings a user has.
When he exceeds the max warning level he can't post messages any more.

But how to prevent him to use a new loginname ?

There really is no way for that, unless you can send that user a cookie which verifies with cpgnuke if the user is banned or not?
Banning of their email address for future registrations.

Of course flushing of cookies will remove it.

Throw in a Black card=10 and link it all into an auto-suspension sytem.
Perhaps have a drop down list of reasons when a warning is applied, and associate a reason with each warning.
User to see his own personal status through My Account.

Yes i could use this type of system to keep the Forum Chat in check... i believe something like this would be very useful if it was implemented one day.

Hi,

I currently help to run a football based site, built upon PHPnuke 7.1, and me and the webmaster are slowly but surely porting over to cpgnuke, converting everything over on our test site beforehand, checking and double-checking etc.

Currently in our forums, we use the yellow card mod, the mod's forum can be found here.

You can download from the announcement thread called, appropriately, MOD download & history.

Now, the webmaster says that our php skills (being not quite newbies but not quite experts) are not good enough to port this mod over, and it is a perfect base for what you were describing above.

Would be absolutely fantastic is someone could port this over.

Many thanks,

Medi

This would be a very cool idea to add. Maybe add a IP ban system to stop users from making other accounts? That could work.

I agree these are great ideas, however I would like an option that is not tied or too heavily forum integrated.

So if you want to use it on a site that for instance doesn't use forums it will still work.

added yet?

How about this?
