how to remove an user's avatar?

[DarkPepe]

I found some users in my server using sexual oriented or offensive avatars but I couldnt find a way to remove the avatar from those users without degrading them to another user group or removing the avatar permissions form their group.

Is there any way to remove the avatar on user basis?

Thanks.

I could not find any possibility...

But I think, if somebody is using an sexual avatar, he should not have an higher server client rank then guest.

And the guest rank cant set an avatar in die first adjustment.

so, don´t give people like this higher ranks.

Well, ppl some times just dont know the limit and degrading them is a solution for the avatar issue, but for my administration becomes a problem since some of them are channel admins .. anyway, removing the avatar for a single user is still a good feature that could be packed into ts.

You can do it with root access to your server. Take a look into the files/virtualserver_X/internal directory. The avatars are stored there. However, you have to check them visually as there is no human-readable connection between the file name and the user that uses this file.

Yes, I've notices the "internal" directory under files/virtualserverxxx

But imagine a 500 slots server... Its kind of difficult to grab the correct one :P

Hopefully there will be a feature allowing you to remove avatars...

Until then, you could use the Query-Interface to determine the filename or (if you are using linux) this:

(It's really bad code, i know...)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int b(char a) {
	const char* base64 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/";
	int b = 0;
	/* b=abs(-*base64 + *strchr(base64, a)); */
	while(b < 64) {
		if (base64[b] == a) return b;
		b++;
	}
	return 0;
}

int main(void) {
	int i,o,p=0;
	char uniqueID[200];
	char base16[6];
	fgets(uniqueID, 200, stdin);
	while(i=0, p=0, o < strlen(uniqueID)-4) {
		i=b(uniqueID[o+3]) | (b(uniqueID[o+2])<<6)
			 | (b(uniqueID[o+1])<<12) | (b(uniqueID[o])<<18);
		if(uniqueID[o+3] == '=') { 
			if(uniqueID[o+2] == '=') { 
				base16[3] = 0;
				p++; 
				i>>=4; 
			}
			if ((i & 255) == 0) {
				base16[4] = 0;
				p++;
				i>>=4;
			}
			base16[5] = 0;
			p++; 
			i>>=4; 
		}
		while(p < 6) {
			base16[5-p] = ('a'+(i&15));
			i >>= 4;
			p++;
		}
		//fputs(base16, stdout);
		p=0;
		while (p<6) { putchar(base16[p]); p++; }
		o+=4;
	}
	putchar('\n');
}

compile once with

gcc -o avatarname

You can use this line to delete the file:

rm -i *$(./avatarname)

Paste the uniqueID of a user afterwards.

This application converts the base64 representation of the uniqueid into a custom base16 one.
