Hacker and Abuse and Litigation reports

The same hacker (I assume) who deleted the files a few days ago is still pestering my site with posting many dirty images and is also reporting "abuses" and "litigations".

Is there any advise beyond the obvious to get rid of this guy?

How can I clear these abuses etc up as there are many of them and haven't anything to do with us.

I'm not posting my site address in public, who can I PM about this?

To make it harder for this guy

Make the new registern for admin

Admin Panel>>User & Gorups>>User Options>>Click on Admin>>Save
This will make it so that admin have to look to see who registerd and if they want them.

I would ban the guy- Email, and username.

If you still want help I would recommend you PM Typlo about this.

Also ban IP and his entire IP range.

Atleast when I say that I say what the range is, doubt he knows what it is. And by IP range you will ban pretty much anyone on the same ISP as him, for a small forum its fine, but larger forums it is a HUGE risk.

This means banning the first 2 subnets, so if his ip is 123.123.123.123, you will ban 123.123.*.* (or however u do wildcards on forumotion)

How do find User's IP?

When you enter the administration panel,look at ~ Who is online

You'll see member's ip addresses.

Uh, yeah, when they're NOT online how do you find IP?

If one of the users post something on your forum you can go to one of their post and click on the Ip button to get their infomation.

What if they don't post?
