Infraction System in vBulletin
3.6 |
 |
The infraction system allows you and your moderators
to flexibly reprimand problem users. Create as many
types of infractions as you want to represent any type
of rules violation on your board. Each infraction has
a controllable weight (points) and an option to allow
it to be applied only as a warning, which alerts the
user to their violation but doesn’t give them any points.
Additionally, the points given to a user for a violation
can be automatically removed after a specified amount
of time via the Scheduled Tasks system.
The points are used to remove permissions from users
that reach specific thresholds. To be more flexible,
the existing user group permission system is used. You
can see in the screenshot that “Registered Users” who
have more than 15 points will have permissions from
the “Infractions – Moderate All Posts” group applied,
and any user with more than 30 points will get permissions
from the “Infractions – Banned” group. |

When an administrator or moderator wishes to apply an infraction
to a user, he or she clicks the infraction icon on a post, and
is presented with a choice of infractions and an option to send
a private message to the user with more information. It is not
a problem if a user has disabled private messages but that is
a feature for another day. If private messages are disabled
globally and email is available, an email will be sent to the
user instead.
A user may also be given an infraction from their profile.
The profile is also where a user's infraction history can be
seen. Active infractions may also be reversed by users with
appropriate permissions.
Infractions are implemented as a user group permission (not
a moderator permission) so you can also allow any of your users
to give infractions if you desire. A hierarchical system is
used such that:
- Administrators can not be given infractions
- Super Moderators can only be given infractions by Administrators
- Moderators can only be given infractions by Administrators
and Super Moderators
A thread can automatically be posted in a specific forum when
an infraction is given, allowing discussion of the violation
to take place.
In addition to receiving a PM about an infraction/warning,
users are alerted to new infractions in their User control panel.
