Hi everyone:
There seems to be a person(s) on my phpbb forum who is creating spam website links on his profile. This person is not creating any posts on my forum, so I can't figure out his IP from posts. Nevertheless, this person has created 30 fake accounts all ready, and it's very annoying.
Is there a way for me to track this person's IP? I really want to ban this person, but I don't know how to do it if he hasn't posted a message. Thanks--I hope my problem description is clear. |

This is quite a common occurance. You won't have much luck blocking a specific IP, as the accounts are created by bots. I don't have any experience trying to stop this kind of thing, but maybe Daniel will be able to help some more. |
