Can de-activated members continue sending private notes if still logged in?
Using Jamroom
brian:
I've got an update in the next version of the User Accounts module that will help with this (version 2.0.2) - In the User Accounts data browser there is a new "Block" button to easily block/unblock a user and their profile.
This sounds great.
I hate to keep harping on this 'other side of the coin', but I still think if you keep the "Profile Active" Checkbox there in the member's Profile page 'profile TAB' the way it is now....that new-to-jamroom site owners are going to assume that making the member 'inactive' with the checkbox is going to prevent them from doing ANYTHING on the site.
Since the 'inactive' member can still send out PMs to other members, this is going to create a BIG problem for somebody at some point in time- it gives a false sense of security for a site admin to uncheck the 'active' box and then walk away thinking all is covered and safe. It caused me a slight problem the other day concerning a member I was in the process of removing... I created this thread because I was wondering HOW on earth PMs were still being sent out by an 'inactive' member. Thankfully the damage was minimal...just a bunch of drama queen farewell private notes calculated to elicit sympathy. But could have been worse, I've dealt with some very vindictive exiting members over the years.
Admins are going to see the profile page settings and checkbox right in plain view before they think to look for buttons in a Data Browser.
Sorry to bug about it, but...isn't there ANY way you can add more clarification to that checkbox, maybe even just in its help(?) message?
