Original release notes
Memberlist Lock 1.0 🔒 — the privacy plugin born on this board, now free for everyone.

Your full member directory is public by default — scrapers and spam-bots can page through every single member. Memberlist Lock puts the complete directory behind a configurable allow-list.

What restricted visitors see (guests + members):
[*]First page only — 50-member cap, pagination hidden, friendly notice
[*]Direct ?page=N URLs silently fall back to page 1
[*]Allowed uids (ACP setting, default you): the full directory, untouched

Under the hood:
[*]Zero custom SQL on the memberlist path — caps applied before MyBB builds its query
[*]Modular architecture per the official Advanced Plugin Development guide
[*]Language packs, template-driven notice, clean uninstall, PHP 8 safe, GPLv3
