Banning spammers
I have had an incident this week with a member on here joining my forum and spamming it. I have now had to change my settings so guests cannot post as they were doing this also.
Although I banned them, I have the following questions:
1. If you ban a member, does it ban their ip address?
2. If not, how do I ban their ip address?
3. I have a feeling they have joined as a different member on my forum today. I have their ip address, but how do I view the ip address of the other member I banned?
Thanks
Baz

Re: Banning spammers
Hello,
To ban an IP address from your forum, you need to copy their IP address by clicking on the IP/Get Info button on one of their posts. Copy the IP address, then go to your Admin Panel > Users & Groups > Ban Control > Find this box > Add IP > Save
To view the IP address of a member you have banned, find one of their posts, and click on the IP/Get Info button on their post.
