Custom banned page?

[ℓєσ gнσѕт]

Theres a thread for custom 404 pages, but not banned.

Do you make yours custom? I recently got an artist who happens to be a great friend of mine draw up an image for mine, but seeing as ill be banning from Blue Humor I was wondering, how do I set up a banned file per say for a sub-directory? Is a file to edit or something, and if so how do I set one of them up correctly? I dont want to IP ban users through the phpBB software, because then theyll still be able to get to the rest of the site after the remodel...help anyone?

And for those of you who want to know, this is the image ill be putting up along with some text and such. Its copywrited to Blue Humor and B. Rufus (my friend) so steal it and youll be in trouble, shes old enough to actually file a lawsuit -😉-

I don't use custom ban pages. You get banned on my site, you don't get to connect.

I use IP address / hostname banning in cpanel IP deny manager.

On my old IPB forum I had **** OFF ~lol~ all banned IP address would get that on every page.

Thats a nice banned page Ghost.

I know theres that manager, but I want a custom banned page for each sub directory...is that possible?

Not sure, never really cared for custom pages.

Well seeing as its a humor forum, and the more custom you can get the better (in general, because it sets you apart from other sites) I figure its best to have one. I actually got the idea from 4chan while using Tor, someone had used that IP to do some bad, bad things >.>

Anywho, any help would be great guys -happy-

Nice ban page Ghost.

Nice ban page Ghost.

Thanks -razz-

I just figured that *hopefully* you wouldnt ever see it, but then youd miss out on Bee's work, so I deicded to let the cat out of the bag early on this. Happy for the good feedback, im sure Bee will be as well -🙂-

Nice ban page!

It's absolutely pointless in my eyes. Why spend time doing something for members who are banned for forum?

But nevertheless, that's a nice pic you've got there, Ghost.

Pointless? Yeah, it is. So? The goal is to set yourself apart from other sites as much as possible and standout. Adding a custom banned page helps todo that, even during the worst of times. Besides, it only takes a couple seconds to make one (I think? No one has answered my question yet). That image was made by my friend who was more than happy to make it as she doodles alot anyway.

Well adding a "custom banned page" won't make a difference if you have one or not. If you really wanted to set yourself apart and standout from other sites, you're going to have to do more major things other than a custom banned page as only banned members remember that, and who gives a crap about banned members. ~lol~

^Just give my site as visit after the remodel ok? Only I know every update that will happen, the other staff only know parts. Just about everyone knows about the domain and skin now though, but I even have a few shockers about those -😉-

Trust me, it will be much more than a simple custom 404 page and banned page -D-

I dont like it.. If you are banning someone why insult them with stupid pictures and give them more of a reason to keep coming back with proxies and keep causing more trouble on your forum?

Well I have to keep my staff busy somehow, or else theyll get bored and abuse their powers -roll-

LOL, Funny that you dont trust your staff and you assume they would do that... If your staff are going to abuse their powers just because they have nobody to ban or discipline then you need some better staff. ~wink~

 

[ℓєσ gнσѕт]

You didnt get the joke there I suppose. I dont distrust my staff at all actually, ask HaVok. However, you HAVE to assume if you want to run a good forum. Be prepared for the worst at all times, keep the backups to yourself, dont allow too much power to anyone. Co-admins stay just that, no one should be able to copy the database or crash everything. If you dont get yourself into those positions, youll never need to worry about them happening.

Its human nature to corrupt at some point. There is not a forum on the internet that hasnt had one staff member go array (and I can name a few examples from here just in my time being here) and do something stupid. If you trust your staff that much, I will honestly be there to laugh once you see your database on another host with your account cracked by someone cracking your password hash, or using the phpBB admin toolkit. Dont mean to sound mean, but I will laugh and laugh until I faint, I truely will.

If you run a good forum you shouldnt insult people you ban with stupid images, you should maintain a level of professionalism and leave the banned with a normal ban page that includes a non-insulting detailed description of why they are no longer welcome at your forum instead of having a poorly drawn immature drawing that could possibly start issues that could have been avoided.

 

[Pixma]

First of All...if you think that drawing is bad..you must be smoking something. Also, How is it immature? It's a joke forum? Isn't everything suppose to be funny. Also, I don't see it as insulting..since they were the ones that spammed, or insulted a member in the first place.

I see... Sink down to their level. Great reasoning there. -lol- ~lol~
