Miserable User

They is a mod for this forum that allows you to place troublesome users into a "miserable user" group. Once in the group they are subjected to the following:

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

I don't have this mod, but it sounds hilarious, and a nice way to deal with trolls.

Damn why did you put me up as a miserable user? Or is it just my crappy wireless conection that ****s things up haha

I can add it and use it for trolls.

There is also a mod/plugin that allows trolls to post, but they are the only ones who can see their posts.

Combine these two plugins and bam-o.

...and of course, on paper these trolls are still counted as active users. Right?

Yes. They think they are interacting as normal.

They can rant and rave, but no one sees their idiocy.
