recently a lot of people have registered under names milkydischarge and rageman(insertnumberhere)

1. i changed it now so only admin can allow new users
2. those people have custom proxy's so they can create multiple IP addresses and i cant ban them all
3. i need to know how to keep guests from posting on my forum so i can make it safe, fun, and secure

If you allow guest to post then that's what is going to happen. Spam.

Go to your Admin Panel>General>Forums>Categories & Forums. Click onto the X/tick (Permissions) & uncheck Guests for everything except View Forums & Read Topics. Repeat this for each of your forums.

It is tiresome & time consuming but is worth it for the safety of your forum.
