Some people have been coming onto my forum and asking for my personal details because they said they are McAfee! I banned 2 of them and now they are coming from proxy servers trying to ruin my forum! Mad

Maybe change settings so you do not accept any more members until a mod can answer you

Calm down and stop typing everything in bold.

Just ban them and do not give out your info. Real simple.

Be sure you have a strong password

Bold font is reserved for moderation, like this. Kilsek, please don't moderate other users, you are welcome to give your answers, but leave the moderation to us.

There isn't too much that we can do for you in this situation. The advice Kilsek gave is great, make sure your password is strong so they can't hack into your admin account, and then ban them when they do come around. Another thing you can do is click on the IP info from the admin panel, and most of those have contact information where you can report malicious behavior. That way you can let the ISP take care of them for you.

Your post has nothing to do with this thread, and is a personal attack against staff. Considering most of the attacks are really all from you, I don't see why we need to put up with you anymore.

This thread is going nowhere fast. The OP has received the best answer that can be given, so I'm locking this thread.
