Blocking a user permanently
Permalink
Hi everyone,
I am using the forum block and it is working great but we are getting one user from another country spamming the forums. We have all security in place at registration etc so it appears to be a single person (not a bot) going to the trouble of dumping nonsense ads and links into the forum.
I was hoping there is a way of blocking this user as I currently keep deleting them and they just reregister. I know there is IP blocking etc in the core but I have no idea how to do any of that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: The other option might be locking the forum down to IP's from my country only but I have no idea how to do anything like that either. :-)
