This modification is not available for vBulletin 4.0.x
The ever popular "Miserable Users" modification.
Basically a way to really annoy anyone you don't want visiting your forum. Credit to Zzed for the original idea.
When classed as miserable, a member suffers ;
1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
4. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.
Note: All the above are set in vBulletin Options > Miserable Users.
To Install ;
Download the xml file to your pc and import it into vbulletin as a product.
Ceate your 'Miserable Users' usergroup and set the value of this group, and your preferred other settings, in the modifications settings (vBulletin Options > Miserable Users).

To make a member suffer just edit their profile - add them to the Miserable Users group (it will work as either the primary group or as a secondary group). There is also the option to set ip addresses.
