Set it so people have to activate there account when they sign up, it might not stop him, but it will slow him down some.

The issue is alot of ISP's change your IP everytime you restart your PC. The best counter is to install the Miserable User hack he wont know whats wrong.

I have allready tryed this but he opened gmail account, so he puts dot betweeen the letters, and he openes many accounts easilly.

I have installed one hack, which converts proxy to real ip, it is not working or i dont know how it works.. Then i have installed one hack it is blocking users on registeration when they used proxy ip..

What about just restricting the use of PMs for new members? This can be done simply with usergroups. That way you will at least get a leg up on him before he starts spamming.

eta: oh and is it feasible to moderate new members? Might be a bit more work on your part, but at least you'd keep him off the boards.

It is now OK i think, he can not access using proxy ip, if he use real ip then we will ban it

is there any mod for preventing the user to send pm's who got <50 in the forum?

I tryed to find it, but i couldnt?

The best way to do that would be with user promotions at 50 posts to a group that doesn't have:

Maximum Stored Messages:
If you set this to 0 users from this usergroup will not be able to use private messaging

Set to zero.
