I am the administrator of our forum. I have received two PMs yesterday that just said BAN ME! in both the subject line and body. Both users are active on the forum. Is this spam? Has our forum or members been hacked? Anyone else seen this?

Thanks!

Spammers to harrass you. Delete their accounts (if they're new) or if they're old users, check their IP's incase they've changed. Either way, suspend them. (temporary ban)

Thanks a lot! Turns out both users were the same person. Banned!!!!

Try using this hack, as IP Banned users usually use a proxy to harrass you further: this will prevent them from doing so, by enforcing the ban on their REAL IP: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=Proxy

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