MyBB Community Forums

Hey,

Perhaps you guys should consider implementing shadow banning to help fight spammers. It's used on big sites like Reddit, and what it does is when a user is shadow banned, they can still post and do regular actions, but nothing the user does actually gets added to the forum.

What are the uses of shadow does the process secure for the long time.

for the interested : here is a plugin coded for MyBB 1.6.x for the similar purpose => Hellban

Hellban is exactly what you want for 1.x (though I don't know if it's compatiblewith 1.8?).

Would make sense to be included in 2.0. All it requires is that the shadow banned user's posts and threads need approval every time they're posted.

I actually really like this idea, it would help with those problem people.
