Background:
This script is basically the same code used for my IP_NoView! hack but was created because of two people that asked me to modify the script to block guests from Posting as opposed to viewing. In their case, they allow guests to post in some of their forums and they needed a way to block guests with problem IPs from being able to post.
Like my IP_NoView script, once the blocked guest logs in, this script will not have any impact on their use of the forums. To test this, I blocked my own IP address and IP host and as soon as I logged in I was able to use the site as normal.
How this works
This works through the use of three settings inside the AdminCP >> vBulletin Settings >> Ip_NoView! These settings include an ON/OFF switch, a list of blocked IPs, and a List of blocked IP Hosts.
If the system is on, two pluggins at the start of newpost and newthread check the IP and IP Host of guests and compare them to the array of blocked IPs. If the guest that is trying to post has an IP that matches, then the system generates an error letting them know that the Administrator has blocked posts by guests with their IP address.
