The "hack" wasn't necessarily a hack, but someone did gain access to Ironman's account and start handing out infractions. Luckily I had email alerts setup for that so I was able to catch it before it got too out of hand. If you were one of the affected I'll restore access to your account as soon as I figure out how.

Can we see if we approve of the hacker's actions (like banning isaderp)?

lol, as bad as he flips out when he's thread banned, he'd probably have an aneurism if he was banned in general.

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Everyone on that list but majorspark is probably cursing Ironman right now. All infractions have been reversed, so check in on this thread if you were banned but now have access.

I've also changed Ironman's password from 'password' to something more difficult. Like 'password1'.

Thread ban feature for OC 2.0: the user has no idea they are banned and can still post in the thread, but no one else can see it.

Nice. It would be great if something could be done where if I were to have someone on my ignore list, in other members' posts who quote that person, it would show up as "Quote: XXXXXX posted more of his typical douchebaggery".

It won't launch with an ignore list, but I'll add it to the list of features to add shortly after.

Ender Wiggin and his magical scripts, I'm sure.

I'm sure there are hacking tools out there that will automate the process of attempting to hack into vbulletin forums.

Ok, NOW they are unbanned. I had reversed the infractions that triggered the ban, but that didn't actually lift the ban.

I was perma-banned for a profile violation, which seemed harsh considering there's nothing in my profile....
