Not Show New Member Name Right Away

[Diva]

Hi. I have a guy that's been harassing me. He signs up with derogatory remarks towards members. My board is on moderation at this point.

Is there a way to not show the new member on the front page until I okay the membership? {Where it says Newest Member}

Thanks bunches!

hmm, not sure, but you can try this:

open index.php
find:

PHP Code:

// get newest member
$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");
$newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
$newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid']; 


and change it to

PHP Code:

// get newest member
$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid<=$numbersmembers[max] AND usergroupid=2 ORDER BY userid DESC");
$newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
$newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid']; 


i think it should work..

It doesn't work.

Any way to do this for whosonline, too?

I think there's a hack that does this already - look in Full Releases. It stops new members usernames from showing up until they are approved.

Hi Erwin! My hero arrives. I could only find this in the search. But it's a year old and the last post looks as if it didn't work. Is there another one that you know off?

[Diva]

Hi Erwin. I found the hack... but it doesn't work It's this thread.

[Erwin]

No, it's not that one... I can't find it either... but I am certain I saw it - I posted in that thread as well. Keep looking...

[Diva]

You mean you posted in the one that I am looking for?

The last one does exactly what I want... if only it would work. *pouts* Right now I have to periodically turn off the signups because he's gotten so bad with the names. I guess I never thought anyone would use such words....

[Erwin]

Yeah, that's the one actually.

Instead of stopping signups, ban his IP address.

Or to prevent him from using free email addresses to register, ban free email addresses.

[Diva]

If I ban his IP, he just goes with AOL. Then I won't know which one he is. Unfortunately he is also posting my personal info. It's a mess. Is there a way to help me with that hack?
