Solved random users banned

Post by IOCUK April 17th 2012, 8:19 pm

Some of my members are reporting being banned one minute and then unbanned the
next, and it has nothing to do with admin or the moderators. There's nothing in the
security logs either. Nothing has been changed on the forum in months, so ive no idea
whats going on ???.

Hi Jophy

As previously stated, there is nothing in the logs, just the normal day to day stuff.

None of my users have provided a screen shot yet, so there's not a lot anyone can do until we
get one.

The last entry in my moderator log is actually myself.

random users banned Cp110

As you can see, this was on Sunday and the problem started yesterday (Tuesday). Ive not had any new reports today, so maybe whatever it was has stopped, so will give it a few days and see what happens.

Hello,

I think it will be better if we'll see the middle part of the moderation logs, we cannot confirm if this is a major glitch if you won't provide us a clear screenshot of the whole moderation logs. Thanks!

Hello,

I didn't seen anything in the log or in the list of banned members that seems to be abnormal. I'm waiting for more information from your users if possible Wink

Hello Smile

plmm0 was responsible of the bans. I don't know why, maybe he had special permissions, but if the problem stopped after he was banned, this means that he has banned himself all the members.

Well I don't think it was him because it didn't even show him online at the time a bunch of members were Re-banned... I'm talkin banned immediately after I just Unbanned them...it has to be some weird glitch... It banned someone that hadn't logged into the Board for years..It's impossible for him to browse through that so quick... the guy isn't even computer savvy, at all lol I know that for a fact, known him for years...Only reason I made him Mod of one little forum was out of respect for some Live shows and donations I got from him.

Thanks for the reply

I really don't see other reason than this one for the moment Smile
Maybe it wasn't him but someone who was logged in his account or something like that. No need to know much about computers to ban users as long as we have the permission to do that.

Anyway, I'm glad you found a solution to stop this thumright

There is "nothing" in the logs out of the ordinary whatsoever, believe me if there was I
would know about it. As I previously said, the last entry was on sunday, this happened
2 days later, so there is nothing in the logs.

Then we cannot confirm really if this is a problem on our side :/ We need to see the whole screenshot of it. And the moderation logs are not getting removed or archived at certain time. Even if the last log was on Sunday, the past logs will still be shown, so we need this information by a screenshot. Otherwise you can also provide your administration logs.

Ok this is as much as I can capture on screen of the moderator log.
As I have said from the beginning, it shows nothing out of the ordinary.

random users banned C10

Ive not had any more reports of the problem and unfortunatly none of my
members have done a screen capture yet.

For suspicious activity? Not sure yet and we can't confirm unless they provide a screenshot.

No, my members got the message saying that they were banned.
Still no screen shot, so im guessing that none of them have had the problem
since. Obviously there was a momentary glitch in the system somewhere.

So now, my question is the issue still appearing and are some members still getting banned? Have you resolved the issue? You can un-members on:
Admin Panel > Users & Groups > Ban Control

As orginally stated...

"Some of my members are reporting being banned one minute and then unbanned the
next, and it has nothing to do with admin or the moderators."

So I didn't need to do anything and ive had no more reports. As for it being
resolved, well it seems to have resolved itself, but only time will tell.

Hello,

I'm glad it seems to be solved !
On our side, we can't help you much more since we have no log and no trace of this error.
Hope everything will be OK now

Thanks !
