nothing to do with guests ll4ever - this is for members who migt disrupt a thread. We find it quite versatile ......
in our normal forums, only registered members can post (guests cannot). However, sometimes discussions turn into arguments or into abuse or sometimes idiots just want to try and take it off topic to annoy the mods .... in any event, this modification gives us an excellent moderation tool that is less of a punishment than post moderation (which is really just more work for us) or an outright ban (which might be a little OTT for a somewhat minor annoyance).
We can set it so the person banned from the topic can see but not reply to the thread, or we can set it so they cannot see or reply to the individual thread. Their permissions in every other thread in that forum (and the rest of the board) is unaffected.
I notice the modders own website is now just a domain parked page so we might have to get used to living without it :(
