Hello, if the guest user blocked or banned, and listed on this page oc-admin/index.php?page=users&action=ban, he can still write messages, why?

@reflexus
Because ban is active for mails only, not for personal messages.

Because ban is active for mails only, not for personal messages.

But this is not entirely correct, how then can we protect personal correspondence from spammers?

We can use this code:

$banned = osc_is_banned($from_user_email);
                                        if($banned==1) {
                                            osc_add_flash_error_message( _m('Your current email is not allowed'));
                                            $this->redirectTo(osc_route_url( 'im-create-thread', array('item-id' => $item_id) ));
return;
                                        } else if($banned==2) {
                                            osc_add_flash_error_message( _m('Your current IP is not allowed'));
                                           redirectTo(osc_route_url( 'im-create-thread', array('item-id' => $item_id) ));
return;
                                        }

                                        $user = User::newInstance()->newInstance()->findByEmail($from_user_email);
                                        if(isset($user['b_active']) && ($user['b_active']==0 || $user['b_enabled']==0)) {
                                            osc_add_flash_error_message( _m('Your current email is not allowed'));
                                            redirectTo(osc_route_url( 'im-create-thread', array('item-id' => $item_id) ));
return;
        }



But this work not perfect. Perhaps you can tell me how to do better?

And maybe it would be nice to add this protection in the next update of the script?

@reflexus
I will take a look on it in next release.

@reflexus
We have just updated plugin and added functionality to block users.
