Okay so there is this spammer on my site. It's an ex-member who was banned for trolling and causing some fights. He is continually making new accounts and posting porn all over the forum. I banned his IP address, but he just keeps using proxies. I used this mod that banned proxies but then other members were having trouble accessing the site. Right now, I made the site validation only, but this has caused the member count of the forum to decrease/.

What can I do? I don't want to have to add more mods to watch for spam, there must be another way.

Put him in Tachy Goes to Coventry.

Pretty much. That's actually one of my preferred methods. Just don't tell him what you've done. Delete the threads/posts at your leisure.

Thanks guys. I was thinking of using the miserable users mod, but this seems a lot better.

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