- Quickly Ban From a Post
With 'Reply Ban Plus' you have a link to give a reply ban in the post itself, no need to traveling in the page. Click, set the ban length and you're done, the user is successfully reply banned.
____
- Quickly Lift Ban From a Post
And for making the previous option even better, you also have a link in the post to quickly lift a reply ban. This is helpful in case of mistakes or if you believe the user waited enough and it's okay to lift the ban sooner.
In addition, this also can be used as indicator. If you'll see a "lift" link instead of the "ban" link, you'll know that this user is banned.
____ - Allow users to give reply ban in their own threads
New permission to give users the option to reply ban in their own threads only. Reduce reports from users by letting them more control over their own threads.

This new permission will allow you to define which users or usergroups cannot be reply banned.
