Problem with one of the members

[that1]

Forum URL: shadowsworld.proboards7.com

There is a member at my forum who has been active for about a year and a half now. nobody likes him. we have given him countless chances. but he kept spamming and bashing all the other members, threatening to hack their boards, claiming hes a hacker (we all know hes not) and making fun of every1. So recently ive IP banned him thrice, but he has dial up or something, so his IP keeps changing. weve also e-mail banned him, and banned all 17 of his accounts. but his IP keeps changing and he keeps coming back. I would jsut like to get rid of him for good, but i cant. can any1 help?

Man, why'd they lock mine? I made mine first.

Anyway, this board isn't for small talk. If this is answered it could take hours, just wait around...

Best way is to limit registrations, then you can 'approve' members before they can post.

or disable signups for a week or so, they often get bored and go away.

ah, ok thank you

One of the moderators at Chao Club actually said that you could do this to solve the problem.

You can put the main server and all of his IPs will be banned.

For example, SD's IP is 68.32.216.136.

If I enter 68.32.*, SD can't use Dial-Up to change his IP and come back. That's how we banned him.

Do you know anything of it?

Then if you do that you will ban every single user that is using that isp server.

To try and not too, it is favourable to run a 'member search' via you admin area first for the IP, just to see if anyone else on your forum has the same ISP server. If not, you are safe to ban.
