Strange things at VB.com

[mrGTB]

When I asked that they ban my account from vBulletin before after I left the site, which Steve did himself. I'm not really sure how they do things when banning people, but they removed my signature links (which is fair enough). But they also removed my avatar of Merlin I used there that I took as a very young kitten of 2 weeks old (now used here).

And I only managed to get the image back through Google cached images. Otherwise I would have lost it for good and didn't have the digital picture anymore on my PC.

I though that was very childish of them. Why remove your avatar?

Not sure, that's why I said I'm not sure what they do when banning. As I did consider that might be the case with all banning, avatar and signature removed. If that's the case fair enough, at the time I wasn't aware that might be the case and though it just looked as though somebody was being petty remove the image.

Avatar is deleted as member is banned on vbulletin

 

[mrGTB]

OK, that explains why then. Just a standard thing they do.

one thing i really miss about vb is the banned being an actual usergroup that i have control over.
i dont like this one-size-fits-all system xf uses.

Could you not just create a new user-group called "Pre-Banned" as an example, then just limit what they can do on the forums if moved into it as an extra user-group added. Such as setting it up to moderate all post for people in it and limit other things they can do.

yes, but the spam cleaner would still use 'banned' and there is no provision for allowing moderators to move members into a usergroup.

Hmm, I don't really see that as a bad thing myself. Only Admin alone, or maybe "Admin and Super Mods" should be allowed permission to do something like that. Most certainly not bog standard Mods.

The last thing you want is an unhappy Mod having power to move all members into a Pre-Banned user-group, total chaos!

well it depends upon how you run your board. ideally i would be able to define usergroup permissions for the banned usergroup. not quite as perfect would be the ability to allow mods to move people into a predefined group. i think one of xfs biggest failings is how it doesnt account for more than one style of administration. on vb i have a lot of flexibility. on xf its kiers way or nothing.

 

[mrGTB]

It's aways Kier's way or nothing - didn't you know that?

I'm afraid that's an assumption on your part. There's plenty of suggestions I've made that are now implemented on this product and I know there's suggestions made by others that have made implementation after the devs made the product public.
