i've tried to ban a member listing his email adresses and i.p. addresses yet he is still able to log on and create a new account using email addresses in the banned list. what am i doing wrong?

you should disable the signups,

thanks for the prompt reply snowcone. but doesn't that stop new signups?

[cliffy]

just block his username too! and make limited registartion so you have to approve them (these are ideas i read from other things and my own questions, if they dont' work, dont' blame me {runs away} good luck!)

are you sure you are entering his email addresses in correctly as well as the ip and saving the banned list?

thanks cliffy. i tried banning the username buy he simply changed it and came back. i've disabled signups and i guess if staff have to approve new members we'll get to see what email addy is used. aren't trolls a pain!!!

i think so miss pixie...that is i enter either the i.p. addy or the email addy. do i need to enter both in the same ban? he has a dozen different i.p. signatures, all similar but maybe the last 2 digits are different.

do all 3 bannings
username (not displayname)
email addy
ip address

also in you general settings set your limited registion to "yes" for the time being..that way any new accounts will have to be approved by you & your staff.

how does the staff only signup work? i had someone try to create an account having changed these settings and they were advised of the staff only status but not given options to apply for signup.

when you enable limited registration and a new member joins, you will see a link in your admin control panel entitled "pending accounts" click on that then you choose weather to approve or Refuse the new members account.
