I am thinking of an Idea that when a user does something wrong or gets a warning his account goes into a jail for how many minutes or hours or even days the admin chooses.

So add a forum called jail that only the banned user group can access?

It's similar to the limited group plugin then? Only with a different name. In that plugin, when the user gets a 50% warning level, they get moved to the limited group with less permissions.

Or that's not even a plugin...

You can use the default permisisions for this. IIRC, they just have to log out first or something right?

This isn't monopoly. The feature your describing is called "Bans"

Not really. He wants to limit an account, not ban one. There is a difference between not eating dinner, and not getting desert.

You can do this by default by setting another group like limited and so on.

Sounds like he wants it automatic though. Which that wouldn't be. He could create the group manually, but would need a plugin to put the user into it.

Ha ha, no.

Actually, this could be achieved easily. Just figured it out quick, I was gonna make such arrangements over my forum as well. Pretty simple;

• Create another usergroup from ACP, say, limited.
  
• Assign that group permissions, and check the below option from General tab in the limited usergroup permission window:
  
  Yes, this is a banned group
  If this group is a 'banned' user group, users will be able to be 'banned' in to this user group.
  
  Image:
  
  [attachment=24335]
  
  
  
• Next, now when you'd go to ban a user, you'd have 2 usergroup to ban/move user in, one is banned (by default), second is what we just created now, the limited group, image below:
  
  [attachment=24336]
  
  
  
• After you ban, the limited user would have only defined permissions and would be placed into limited usergroup, image below:
  
  [attachment=24337]

Simple.

You can create a new warning type to change the user group.
