There actually is an option to add them to a secondary group now.
-
Well I thought it'd be better to introduce them while it is in beta so they can experiment with it.
-
Another nice feature would be changing the member's primary group but kicking their previous primary to a secondary group.

I'm using the subscription system kind of like a shop. Unlimited PM's, more reputation, and such. I would really appreciate it if there was an option to allow multiple subscriptions at once. This would be useful in many ways, and would allow me to continue to offer multiple things at low prices rather than in big packages.

vBulletin really gets annoying to use because they have way too many permissions and such.
-
I just think you would gain many customers if you filled the gaps. If IPB had everything vB had plus more, customers would have no reason to use vB instead. When I told my friends that I purchased an IPB license they were all disappointed because they claim vBulletin is much simpler and has some good features that IPB doesn't have, plus a lot of add-ons. Also, to your question, yes. 'Infractions' are a big part of vBulletin and many big communities use vB instead of IPB because of them. When I bought IPB I thought the warning system was improved, but it's practically the same as it was before. Actually, the single most important feature that converting users would probably want is the layout. A lot of people like the horizontal poster information better than the vertical.

I'm regretting my purchase because there are several features that are critical to my forums that were available on vBulletin but apparently not on IPB. This includes multiple rank images (which I sort of fixed with custom profile fields), the ban system, and avatar limitations per usergroup. I do however like some features of IPB that vBulletin doesn't have, such as a much better admin control panel.
-
Can't you guys do anything about it though? I'm starting to regret purchasing IPB over vB.

Moderators can still ban via warnings if you allow them too. I'm simply asking for them to have the ability to move them to the 'Banned' usergroup. Thanks for your understanding and support.

It would still be nice if there are settings for this, such as having the option to automatically move the user to a 'banned' usergroup instead of having to manually do this.
-
The problem with moving them to the 'banned' group is that you have to manually move them back to their original group again, right? Also, from my knowledge, moderators will not be able to move people to the 'banned' group. It just makes it confusing since there are different ways of doing it and such. Even the warning system is unclear to me at the moment. I just think it would be much easier if there was a new system added where there's a center that lists all warning and also allows you to appeal them and such. Maybe similar to the vBulletin 'infraction' system but with an option to appeal. When a user is banned without changing their group, will other users be able to tell they are banned?
-
I have an appeal system on my forums but apparently when a person gets suspended they can't view the forums. It would be really nice if there was a 'Suspended' usergroup that suspended users were demoted to so they could view certain forums. Also, I haven't tested but do members get demoted to the 'Banned' usergroup when they are banned or do they just permanently get suspended?
