I have banned some trouble makers from our clan forum. But they keep signing up and posting stuff. They are banned by their name, IP, and Email. But they keep getting on. Using a different name but the same email and IP address.

Does the Ban feature even work?

That's strange. Are you sure that their IP address is the same and the email address?

Check in your security log to see if any of your staff members been unbanning them. The ban feature works. Double check the info actually saved.

Yep, As a matter of fact I just caught another person who was banned before.

One just resigned up. He didn't post any thing but it was his IP, and Email, but with a different login name.

Oh, and I'm the only Full Admin who can Ban or Unban.

Must be one of those bots you can't stop.

Please don't reply if your are not sure what's the problem. Read the support rules.

So how does the Ban system work?

Will it allow people to sign up then not send them a validation email or let them log back on?

email ban works by locking the profile. So although people will be able to use the same email to signup, the accounts will just be blocked.

Are you still having trouble? If so, are you sure that you clicked "Update" or whatever it is to ban them? It is very easy to get pass IP bans. I'm not going to tell you because there are too many trouble makers on this forum. So IP bans don't always work.
