# Zoints Forum Ban System

This hack allows staff members to ban users individually from specific forums. Administrators and Supermoderators
are able to ban users from any forum, whereas moderators may only ban users from the forums they moderate, if they
have the permission to do so.

	*** NOTE ***
	The forum ban system is built ontop of vBulletin Access Masks. That means admins have the ability to edit
	the access masks without using the forum ban system. If you remove (set default) or set a usermask to 'yes'
	that already has a forumban entry, it will become nonfunctional (though it doesn't break, the forum ban entry
	just disappears).
	You have the option in the Forumban Options to prevent users from overriding admin-set access masks. (On by
	default)
	*** NOTE ***

This product attempts to schedule a cron job that runs every hour, at **:05. If that does not suit you, feel free
to change the time. If you disable the cron job, the automatic unbanning of forumbans will not work anymore.
