Hello,

I have a small request, which should be simple.

For the past 5-6 months I've been having a user constantly register on my forums with fake emails & insulting user names with no intent to use his registrations, he just wants to see his name which is supposed to offend me, calling me derogatory names on the “Welcome our newest member” area.

I don’t want to remove the user (collecting them for an abuse report and want to preserve the data). And an IP ban is not feasible since I have members that are in his area, plus the IP range I'd have to ban is huge.

But I don’t want his fake registrations showing up on my forum home on the "Welcome our newest member, <insert insulting name here>"

So what I want is the "Welcome our newest member" thing, to ignore members that are banned, or haven’t been authorized yet by email.

Any takers?

Thanks.
