Several users on my forum complaining, that when they click "New Posts" link on navbar, they get their search results jammed with posts from "User Infraction Discussion Forum" and from "Post Reporting Discussion Forum". So, I written a small mod to exclude these service forums from "New Posts" results.
Forum ids to exclude are taken from VBulletin settings (VBulletin options -> User Infractions & Post Reporting Options)
Please note:

Please note:
- Permission adjustments on mentioned service forums to hide them from search may not always be desired as users MUST HAVE a right to prove their innocence in those forum and discuss/review existing cases of other users. That's why this small hack was written.
- Turning off "Index New Posts in Search Engine" in forum settings DOES NOT hide threads in that forum from "New Posts" link on navbar. That's why this small hack was written.
