XF 2.3 How can I remove a user's ability to put images in their posts AT ALL

I have a new forum up and almost immediately have some political guy spamming the board with political memes and its getting on everyone's nerves

I DO want him to be able to freely post, but I want to remove his ability to put images in his posts, whether it is uploaded or hotlinked from another site.

Ideally, I'd like that image icon to disappear completely from his toolbar.

How can I do this on a per-user basis?

You can achieve this cleanly with a combination of user group permissions + editor control + BB code/media restrictions.
  1. Create new user group. Call it “No Images” or whatever you want.
  2. Disable Attachments (Uploaded Images)
  3. Disable Embedded Media / Hotlinks
  4. Disable BBCode Image Tag
  5. Remove Image Button From Editor Toolbar (Visual)
  6. Assign Group To The User
Try to use "Editor Manager" (by Xon) to help things along.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. i will try this.

I went and edited his user account, but did not see an option to disable hotlinking anwhere- is this option available when creating a new user group?

same for removing the image button- is that an option in user groups? can you point me to the exact location to remove that?

What I posted was for groups and not the user. You add the user to the group. For the image button, I would use Editor Manager. I am looking at building an addon for this type of stuff now. Not sure how long it will take.

Thank you- I'm new to Xenforo- can you point me towards where to get Editor Manager, and what it entails?
