Hilarious messageboard plugin
hmmm, wonder how many times they've done this to me..


ere is a 3.5 version of the ever popular "miserable users" plugin. Basically a way to really annoy anyone you don't want visiting your forum. Based on the original idea & hack for vb2 by Zzed, and the vb3 port by KuraFire.

When classed as miserable, a member suffers ;

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.

1. I have no idea what that means.
Guess I'll have to take your word that it is hilarious.

4. Heh. Does it come with suggestions
on what to say when they call the Help Desk? Or does one just take them through a few useless processes and then refer them out to a good anti-virus program?

:hi:
