Fixed Reply Ban bug

[RobParker]

Affected version

2.0.4

We saw a few instances of this happening on our site after upgrading to XF2 so tested it and it's reproducible.

We set a permanent thread reply ban
We confirmed it was in place and working (test account was banned from replying, reply ban showed correctly).
Within an hour it had lifted itself and account could post to thread again.
We didn't time it but it was definitely under an hour (less than 52 minutes) before it had removed itself.

I set a 7 day ban on a different thread and that's still in effect (that's the one I set first).

But I can

Are you staff / admin?

 

[RobParker]

I am, the test account obviously isn't.

I also confirmed that the ban was in place and working initially (i.e. I couldn't reply, there was a grey "you have insufficient privileges" message, etc).

I'm fairly convinced this is a real bug.

@RobParker the front-end replyban dialog will delete reply bans with no confirmation. I think this is a UI design issue tbh

 

[RobParker]

Definitely didn’t delete the reply ban. It just removed itself.

Wow, that was a silly bug. Permanent thread bans were expiring. Sorted for the next release.

 

[RobParker]

So solution for now is to just set a long defined ban?

 

[Chris D]

That'll do it, yeah.
