Forum problem ( unwanted members )

Re: Forum problem ( unwanted members )

I'm having this problem too. I want to delete these users, but can't find on the Admin panel where/how to do it. I'm sure it's somewhere obvious, I'm just not seeing it.

In your Admin Panel, go to User Admin > Management.

It goes immediately to Lookup User - does this mean I have to type in each one individually?? Igads - I was hoping for a simple interface that would let me administer my list. Rather unwieldy, but hey, it's free.

Thanks Racefan.

There is a utility available at phpBB.com called "Admin Userlist" which makes the process much easier. It lists all your members rather than you having to look them up.

This version of vBulletin that we are using has some pretty advance
banning options, We ban about 10-15 people per day (mostly for spam).
If you are serious about running a forum and you can spare the cash VB
is the way to go.

Don't get me wrong, phpBB is a great free open source forum. But VB is
much better.

I thought, spam is sending an uninvited e mail to someone which the receivers don't know us or without permission .
Since everyone here has to log in with their user name and password before we post anything.
Is it also consider spam, when we post or reply something on someone else thread, like what I am doing now or what is actually considered SPAM? Please advise! Reagards, WS_Blue

In this case, spamming is registering on a forum and posting with the sole intent of advertising.

Anytime, Sergeant WSBlue.

Hi! RaceFan20,
About spam. My partner got banned, too about few months ago. But no reasons were given.
Actually, he did post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, rude, mean or nasty.
Now, I have to take over his work, to learn to build webs.
But, I am having fun even sometime is quite confusing.
The more I don't know, the more I want to learn.
The more I learn, the more I find out that there are still alot that I still don't know yet. :)
Good day!
