[bbDev] Re: "You've Been Blocked" Error

[Michael D Adams]

Blocked isn't default, everyone should get caps.  I don't know how  
this happens.  Are these old users or newly registered ones?  You can  
try running upgrade_150() again.  It shouldn't overwrite anything  
that's already there; it'll just give caps to those who don't already  
have them.  It's an expensive function, though.

The only thing I can think of is accounts that had user_type > 5 in  
the old system.  Those folk wouldn't have gotten caps during  
upgrade_150().

I can make it non-null, but people who would have been blocked will  
instead be able to view things but not participate.  I'd rather just  
know where this bug was coming from.
