Problem, help please
got a user, i keep banning his ip but he still manages to sign back up, on the same ip address, and even before being validated managed to post in the shoutbox, is there anything i can do, i've contacted his isp but i'm waiting a reply, i always thought the ip ban was server side but i'm obviously mistaken and this is just really getting to me as i've worked hard on building up my boards and for ppl like him to be on there ruining it for everyone is just :grrr: so help me please

There's little you can do to ban one person entirely. Just keep banning him and he'll get bored of it eventually. Make sure you're running the absolute latest version of vB, too, so he doesn't get around e-mail activation security holes.

You can never ban someone completely if they are persistent enough. What you can do is ban free email domains, and free proxy IPs - lists are in my sig. That will not ban them completely, but make it difficult for them to sign up.

Create an .htaccess file in your VB directory (or even web root as it inherits downward) put the following...replace xxx's with the IP number:
Code:
order allow,deny deny from xxx.xxx.xxx allow from all Code:
order allow,deny deny from xxx.xxx.xxx deny from really-bad-domain.net allow from all |
