What are you asking for help with, exactly? Be specific.

[sergeim]

Do you see the Chinese lettering why do people do that and they post on properties that say only admin and staff can post on but they post it anyway why is this

[sergeim]

I joined a new site and I got a welcome message how do I do that for my site to welcome the new members?

I think you need to double check that setting in the admin panel. This board is open to all registered members to post.

Okay, so again, what do you need assistance with? This is a technical support board, so you should only post here if you need technical support.

Just look at the site and you'll see what I'm talking about sergeim.proboards.com

I see the post, and the post is from someone that registered as a member, who is also someone who is posting spam. I understand that has happened.

What I am asking is what you need help with, specifically? You need to tell me what the problem is, and how you want it addressed.

Can I block them from rejoining the site or will they have another way of doing it how can I make sure they're not on the site anymore

Well, you can ban them:

But spammers often come back many times under different names, email addresses, and IP addresses; you may need to ban a lot of accounts that post spam before they leave you alone, and they might come back every so often (or a new spam group might show up in the future).

I really don't understand what you're trying to tell me. Yes I know you're the forum admin and can delete the spam, but what does that have to do with me?
