ABSTRACT
********

The following columns are added to the Banned table for limiting certain user privileges:

B_X_NoEditPost - do not allow editing of posts
B_X_NoEditProfile - do not allow editing of profile (basic section only)
B_X_NoMessage - do not allow sending or receiving of private messages
B_X_NoPost - do not allow posting
B_X_NoRate - do not allow rating of users or threads

Each of these columns is set to 1 to deny the privilege, and 0 to allow the privilege.

There is no user interface provided for changing these privileges. That can only be done with MySQL queries, phpMyAdmin or an equivalent.

If a user name or IP address is added to the Banned table via the Admin page, each of the above columns is set to 1 by default, denying all the privileges.

Sounds great Dave

Perhaps the banning page could pass some check box variables so that the new field values could be set 1 or 0 at the time of banning?

Just a thought.

It is my intention to include this in the ban interface.
That's why i forced Dave_L to post it.

Ahh... ok.

Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Great work Dave_L. (As always)

Excellent tool

Forgot to mention it here.
I created a GUI for this nice hack and expanded it a bit.
