Multiple actions in warning level system

So far, in MyBB 1.6 at least, you can only place one action per warning level.

Setting multiple actions for the same level does not work.

Say you have the following scheme:

10 points -> 1 day suspension
30 points -> Move to "Restricted users" banned group permanently
50 points -> 5 day suspension

If somebody does something which gets them a 55 point warning, for example, all they get is a 5 day suspension, and after 5 days, are allowed full access again. Somebody committing an offense which incurs a 49 point warning will get moved to the "Restricted Users" group permanently.

If somebody gets a 55 point warning, they should be moved to "Restricted users" group as well as get a 5 day suspension (so when the suspension is over they get restricted access) - the only way one can do that is to allow multiple actions per level:

10 points -> 1 day suspension
30 points -> Move to "Restricted users" banned group permanently
50 points -> 5 day suspension + Move to "Restricted users" banned group permanently

Such a system will allow a lot more flexibility regarding the warning level system too.

  1. Well, sometimes one wouldn't want that kind of "cumulative" sanctions because that might incur assignments to different (contradicting) banned groups etc.
    In your example, what needs to be done is simply this:

    10 points -> 1 day suspension
    30 points -> Move to "Restricted users" banned group permanently
    30 points -> 1 day suspension
    50 points -> 5 day suspension
    50 points -> Move to "Restricted users" banned group permanently.

    You can set as many things as you wish per warning level.

  2. linguist: I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to work. So I imagine that is done on purpose?

    But yea, it should be OK I reckon

    At least the cumulative actions should be an option (not compulsory though as I agree that not everybody wants it).
