XF 2.1 How on earth do u ban a user?

[heyitsme]

I don't see any option that says BAN user nowhere to be found , am i missing something?


Also what's the default usergroup when members are registering into the forum ?

 

[heyitsme]

Do you just create a group with no permissions and move them there ?

The preferred method of banning is to issue warnings and then set up the warning actions so that when a certain threshold is hit they are automatically banned.

But if you need to do a one-off, immediate ban you can use the "Ban member" function available from the member card or the user's profile:



It can also be done in the Admin CP too.

Registered.

Only thing i see there is , which group do they go if u ban them ? I am from import platform where i had registered groups and ban exist already.

That would imply you don't have permission to ban users.

You need to make sure your account is a "Moderator" (even if it is already an Administrator) and also make sure your account/group has the "Ban users" permission.

General moderation permissions - >ban users ->set to yes
i am on that group , i am marked as stuff , i can see myself as super moderator.

The more i can see now is ip addresses, shared ip but not ban .

Are you listed on the "Moderators" page in the Admin CP?

Ok, then it's likely still something to do with Permissions.

You can use "Analyze permissions" to see which permissions are effective for your account.

Hi .

I was belonging in a usergroup where ban was set to No and some others was yes but due to that one usergroup it didn't let me, that was my default usergroup as well.

That fixed my problem.

Thanks.

@Chris D , hi again . Seems like that because i moved from another platform which had banned as usergroup as well the current members belonging to that usergroup don't have the line crossing on their name but their usergroup is indeed banned .

What to do in this case?
