Getting hacked

[trifive]

I keep deleting a poster , banned his ip, and use the spambot image plus a special question he still manages to get into my forum and post a spam message, I noticed if you search on google lots of other forums are getting hit with the same mesage post.

Don't delete him. There are tens of thousands of open and anonymous proxy servers available on the internet. It is trivial to get a new IP address from any country of the world. If you happen to run out of available IP addresses available that than you install a plugin that rewrites the request sent to the server with a new IP address. Or at least a new IP address shown to PHP.

let him keep his log on and his ip and his email!, simply use Tachy goes to coventry, he'll be quite pleased with himself that he is having his posts left alone and you'll be quite happy because you can keep an eye on him but no one else will see him or his posts, it's a cool tool just wish it was available as a one click drop down in the members profiles...etc for admins.

Alternatively you can find out what his contact details and contact his Internet Service Provider as well as the police and get him into trouble.

That's easier said then done when he's using a proxy.
