Allow banned users to...

[SuF]

That comes from the username markup underneath usergroup options. Just like mods colors come from the same input field.

There's an option "Is this usergroup a banned usergroup" or something like that in those options as well. Selecting no under that makes it so they can see the forum. Then you just have to edit their permissions specifically.

Oh. Okay.

It's disabled then. Not hard to re-enable it. You have your list of infractable offenses, then a custom infraction field, then you have another one below that which allows you to send a message to the user as to why they are being banned and whatnot. I'm not sure if it was included in a later version of vBulletin or not, but getting the plugin would not be difficult, then it's a question of editing the moderators who can ban's permissions.

I'm talking about the ModCP banning form.

No support. They can just use an unregistered guest name to post a dispute. As for the 'impostor disputes', a Global or an Admin can easily check the IP address of the person who's posted the dispute to see if it's actually the same as the banned account.

I like your thinking, but wouldn't it just be easier to let banned users post?

Support.

Its not that big of a deal with a mod to check the IP. Many will still anyways to make sure the account isn't hacked... Or at least thats what I'm thinking. Its till a good suggestion though.
