I started a forum for my gaming group. Let me give some basics on the set up of the BulletinBoard. There is one category/forum that anyone can see. We use it so that people who aren't a part of our group to leave messages that they want to get in touch with us. All other categories and forums require an approved registration and subsequent group membership to see anything. So permissions to view the various section of the BB depend on group membership. Am I clear in my descriptions so I haven't lost anyone yet? ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)
The problem:
Everything was going fine and then I notice a Guest posting in an area that Guests, by that section's permissions, can't see, let alone post.
I checked out their ip address from the post and the Moderator Control Panel came up. This person has only posted once from this particular ip address and as a "Guest". However, I see under "Other IP addresses this user has posted from" there are 5 different ip addresses associated with this user and they have a total of 12 different posts associated with them.
Up to now, no one has posted except as a recognized member in this area. My questions are, what happened and how concerned should I be about it?
