XF 2.1 User moved to Banned usergroup make as primary

[cb_tree]

When a user is banned, is it possible to have their primary group replaced by the "Banned" usergroup instead of appear as a secondary group? I know the "Banned" usergroup is only for astetics but it looks funny when you have a user with multiple forum ranks, with banners, and the last banner is a "Banned" group.

You would have to use the user group promotion function to remove the member from the registered user group.

Doesn't seem to work. I believe I'm doing correctly. I tried it with both "None" and "Banned" with no change. Under "Setup > Options > User discouragement and discipline > Add user group on ban."

Yes, thinking about it, it's not going to be possible as there is no "remove from user group".

You can only prevent other promotions from taking effect by utilising the "is not a member of" criterion, but that would never affect the Registered user group as that is the default group.

You will need to edit the existing promotions for VIP, etc. and add "is not a member of" and select the banned user group.

That assumes you don't have a banner for the Registered user group.

and the last banner is a "Banned" group.

Change the priority to the highest number and it will be first.

That won't remove the other banners if stacking is enabled.

I know but he did mention seeing all the other groups and banned last was an issue.

@beerForo

I meant it looked funny because you have all these groups a user was a part of with the "Banned banner."

You will need to edit the existing promotions for VIP, etc. and add "is not a member of" and select the banned user group.

Brogan posted the answer.

The group you cannot remove is the primary registered so best solution is to not give that group a banner.

IMO

Bingo.

That assumes you don't have a banner for the Registered user group.
