How to ban a user account?

[PP]

I can ban a user only from the IP, not from user account (the user can change the IP and reconnect again)
How to ban a user account?

I don't think there is support for that currently.
Maybe rejetto will consider this!
Good idea!

With the beta 2.3 #XXX make events script (alt+F6) like this.

eg:

[+request]
{.add to log|%user% is banned.}
{.if|{.=|%user%|rejetto.}|{:{.disconnect.}:}.}

having several usernames would be easy by using {.switch.} instead of {.=.}

[uvbeenzaned]

it leaves a blank page when you ban using event scripts!
Can you have a custom user ban page?

[rejetto]

go the the account properties and remove the "enabled".

[uvbeenzaned]

thanks rejetto!   sometimes my head is in the clouds!

[PP]

go the the account properties and remove the "enabled".

It's a good alternative, but I would prefer to block a user with a message like "Under construction" (from ban option) because If he could not log in, I will receive a call immediately asking about this.

[rejetto]

good news everyone!
from next version you'll be able to install this little script in ALT+F6

Code:

[+server start=every 5 seconds]
{.file changed|ban.txt|#banned.users.}

[+request]
{.set|b|{.from table|#banned.users|%user%.}.}
{.if|{.length|var=b.}|{:
{.disconnection reason| Hello %user%. You are banned. {.^b.}.}
:}.}

after you copy&paste this script, all you have to do is to create a file "ban.txt" in the same folder of hfs.exe using this format

Code:

mark=you are impolite
rejetto=you suck
uploader=sorry, temporarily disabled
other username=other reason for banning

[uvbeenzaned]

Many thanks again rejetto!   You are talking about #253 correct?

[SilentPliz]

rejetto=you suck

Donate for it ! 

-----------------------------

thank for this script !

We have one tiny problem though!  When using this new ban feature the reason for ban does not show up in any other templates than the default and also disable macros.  Check the image out.  Template used is rawr 0.1.2.  Can this be fixed?

[rejetto]

that's because the template you are testing is not using the needed feature (that's the %reason% in section [deny])
we should ask RAWR-designs to include it.
try right clicking on the root/home > properties > diff template
and paste this

[deny]
<h1>Unallowed</h1>
{.or|%reason%|This resource is not accessible..}

[uvbeenzaned]

Thanks, it worked!

Shouldn't this have been [ban]? from the main template section [ban] rather than [deny]?
Deny is the section presented to a user who has attemped to access a resource/file they
haven't been granted rights to, but they can continue to use the server.
Ban is the section a user see's when they can no longer log on at all.
Aparrently [deny] is the default in the server code, since I don't seem to be able to change it
so it will work correctly.

[rejetto]

it's not [ban] because we are not using here the ban feature of HFS.
we are using a generic disconnection, through scripting. HFS doesn't know it's used for conceptual banning.

note: in recent betas, section [+request] can be simplified this way

{.set|b|{.from table|#banned.users|%user%.}.}
{.disconnection reason| Hello %user%. You are banned. {.^b.}|if={.length|var=b.}.}
