Urgent Help Required · **Released**: 02-19-2007

Hello vBulletin.org Members!!

On a forum of mine, (www.suerteheights.com/board) there is a user named "Killconstant[number]" who continues to spam the forum and abuses the shoutbox.

We IP Ban him from the forum, and he must be using a proxy to re-gain access and re-register.

We know this should just be ignored, and just delete his posts, but he is crashing our server.

We ban him, and then our server goes down a few minutes later. We have taken multiple back-ups incase of serious problems, any help on how to deal with this problems?

PS - We beleive this use usually goes by the name of "Askin"

Many thanks in Advance

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
