disable ignore/buddy feature?

[PakPassion]

Is there any way of disabling this feature because lately cheeky members have started to put admins in their ignore list thus they cannot read announcements, rules regs etc. I want to disable this feature all together any way of doing that?

This is a system wide setting:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> User Profile Options -> Allow Users to 'Ignore' Moderators -> No

How about disabling AND HIDING the Buddy list altogether Steve, How would we go about doing that?

I dont see a need for the Buddy list thing on MY site so It would be nice to get rid of it altogether and not let my members even know it ever existed.

This is the long way to do this, but you need to learn it the hard way like I did.

1. First going to remove link in User CP side list.
   
   In User CP side list, you can see in text ' Buddy / Ignor List '
   
   Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search In Phrases ->
   
   Search for Text: Buddy / Ignor List
   
   Search in Language: All Languages
   
   Search in ...: Phrase Text Only
   
   Case-Sensitive: No
   
   Click: Find
   
   Search Results -> buddy_ignore_lists (copy)
   
   
   Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Search In Templates ->
   
   Search in Style: Search in all Styles
   
   Search for Text: buddy_ignore_lists
   
   Search Titles Only: No
   
   Click: Find
   
   You will see two templates: modifylist | USERCP_SHELL
   
   Two option here.
   1. Select all code and delete or
   2. add comment out <!--code-->
   
   
   Click on modifylist -> Controls -> Customize -> Search in Template -> Find
   Comment out:
   

   [COLOR="Red"]<!--[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">[/COLOR]

   
   
   
   SCROLL DOWN TO THE END
   
   
   
   
   </table>-->
   
   Click: save
   
   
   
   Next to remove the link in USERCP_SHELL

Seems like an AWFUL lot of work just to disable and hide the buddy / ignore list dont you?

This is nothing, wait till you ask me to do another edit.

Has anyone been able to accomplish this using Nicksforum.net's advice with Vbulletin 3.6.4 ?
