Forum Spammer
 

Hi,

I have some lamer how keeps spamming in my forum i ban his username but he keeps making new ones is there any other methods i could do to prevent this? Also how do i bann ip address/range from entering my site thanks.

Who B Your host, they should have a forum about how to block ip's using there htaccess methods. Spammers job is to make money piggybacking on your hard work. Sucks A. Check with webmasterworld.

Suggest reading up on security issues with vb over at vb.com.

Good luck;)

thats about the only thing you can do. But that doesnt allways work. I use the miserable user hack.

Ok cool i banned tht suckers ip thanks bro whats this user hack you mentionmate and what excatly does it do ?

When I had a problem I created an additional registered2 users group.
Registered required all posts to be moderated.
Then created a promotion when someone was a member for 2 days or had 1 post they moved to registered2 where they were not moderated.
The logic being if someone was going to spam they do it as soon as they are confirmed.

Banning ip addresses don't work since most people have dynamic ips.

OMG tht is a amazing idea man can u please help me to set this up as in like where to go and wht settings to have in place maybe write a short tutorial as i am suree alot of people have this problem thanks again
