Ban system idea

[Fluffy728]

You know how I can ban people from the Coding Hut Scratch Forum Thread? Currently the website does not know that, that user is banned from Coding Hut. We could do a ban list, where if they sign in with the Scratch Authentication page and their name is on a ban list I will create, it to not sign in and redirect to a ban screen.

We could do like an if then if the scratch username equals a banned user from Coding Hut redirect them to the page, but we could do like it for different reasons, like if they spam redirect to the spam reason page.

I made the ban screen - https://scratch-coding-hut.github.io/banscreen but we need a way to redirect the user to that page BUT ONLY REDIRECT THEM TO THE BAN SCREEN WHEN THEY ARE BANNED FROM CODING HUT.

If they are not banned redirect them to the normal redirection page.

(Going to the ban screen won’t ban you since it’s just a static page for redirecting to)

I made different ban reasons, example:

https://scratch-coding-hut.github.io/banscreen - This page will return no reason I will just show a message saying you broke the rules and got banned for an unknown reason.

https://scratch-coding-hut.github.io/banscreen?reason=spam - This page will return a reason saying you have been banned from Coding Hut for spamming

https://scratch-coding-hut.github.io/banscreen?reason=nosnip - This page will return a reason saying the user has not snipped their posts too much

https://scratch-coding-hut.github.io/banscreen?reason=rude - This page will return a reason saying that the user has been banned from Coding Hut for being rude

Great, were you thinking a list of users that you a contributor can update, or something more dynamic?

I Don’t Know what, maybe in the code, but maybe if we could we could add a moderator panel where you can ban users but not sure if we can. Now let’s just do it in the code for now.

Any updates on the ban system yet?

Not yet, it's hard to code on mobile. I'll work on it soon.

Here's a start: What if we made a banned-users.json file to store banned users? Then when there's an update for the list, no more hunting for the content. Would you like an IP ban feature as well for anonymous users?

[Fluffy728]

that's what I was thinking. But if there was ip ban then we would have to track them but we could put known hackers for ip ban and scratch account ban as well if an account broke the rules.

I made the bannedusers.json file https://github.com/Scratch-Coding-Hut/Scratch-Coding-Hut.github.io/blob/main/bannedusers.json
