If he's banned, he can still show up on the Currently Active Users list because he may be trying to access your site. If you look at your Who's Online list and find his name, he should have a Stop sign next to his name (or a Yield sign, I forget which).

saw the yield sign next to his IP ady, New IP addy at that, I checked & did not find him under any other groups, banned that IP as well & now he is gone.

this is the only Spammer whom I have seen try to log in.

did u ban the account aswell not just the IP?

yes, and he/she just showed up again, different IP:eek:

banned that IP as well.
thats 3 different IPS and he/she is not in different user groups
