That is because the usernames that were blocked before are now in your database remove the xml only and reinstall it again to replace the default tables in mysql

Is there a way to get rid of the "Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting." pop-up message when a post is made with a blacklisted keyword? Spammers that get through and see this message will just keep posting the same post again and again when they notice that their post is not seen.

Is there a way to allow the user who posted the message to see their post, letting them think that their spam is visible to everybody when in actuality it's moderated for moderators to either approve or delete?

I have a super mod who can't see spamomatic in the list of moderate tools? Why would that be? All moderaters should be able to see it. I'm a admin and I can see it just fine. Is there any rights that would prevent that?

In attempting to update my vbulletin 4.2.2 site I have managed to inadvertently get both my Admin and personal user permanently banned and apparently Glow-Host is the cause; my IP is what is being banned.

I cannot access the Admin control panel but do have access to the forum database and site files. In searching the database I've been unable to locate a "fix" for the ban. I'd appreciate some help in clearing this problem.

Ok lets do this, disable plugins via the includes/config.php file.

To do that open your includes/config.php file and below <?php add the following.

PHP Code:


		
			
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

So it looks like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Use a editor like notepad++ to edit any files, don't use Notepad or Wordpad.

Then see if you can get into the ACP.

Thanks for your reply, Ozzy. I tried that; no luck.

Login to phpmyadmin and remove your ip from the userban table also check user table incase your group id has been changed to the banned group

When attempting to log in to the site of the AdminCP I receive this message (for both users.

You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

The userban table is empty and the group IDs for both the Admin and my personal user are correct (userID for a banned user is 8) In examining the contents of the user table entries for both Admin and my personal user the only "odd" or "out of the ordinary" table entry appears to be "showvbcode" which, for all other users, contains a "0" entry and for both Admin and my personal user contains "2". I don't know what the significance of the table entry is and I haven't done a trial and error to check to see if changing the entry clears the issue yet (I just discovered it as I was typing this).

in user table showvbcode it should be 2. It might of banned your account on a custom plugin as I dont know what you have go over all tables to see if you can find it. But it could be just an ip ban and not an account ban depends on your plugins. If you want I could login to your account and fix the problem if you want pm me the info
