is it possible to ban ip addresses?
I see the serial pest is back yet again. Surely the moderators must have some way of banning an ip address from the site? Would save a lot of work deleting threads.

Re: is it possible to ban ip addresses?
Have done it every time, seems to be using either a dynamic IP or different computers.
Furthermore, registration is now limited until I can find a solution to a problem we are currently experiencing.

Is it possible to make it so you need to have a minimum posts/2 week period before you can create new threads?

Not sure about now but most forums can do that yeah.
Hsv is right.
Not hard to get a diff IP Addy after being banned.
Might prove tricky to police that

Re: is it possible to ban ip addresses?
yes that will stop the drive-by flame spammer, but
with respect this will only make it even harder for newbies to come on board
they cant view the board before joining - then once they do they have to wait a period...?
but on the original topic it is VERY easy to show the IP for each poster in phpbb
this will pose an issue to & expose the "casual" multiple nic users.

Minimum posts to make new threads wont work - they will just find a clog up the existing threads with rubbish until they hit the required amount - a simple bump will count as a post.HSVKing wrote:That's what I'm currently working on. part of the reigstration required to do so isn't working the right way yet.F_Q_F wrote:Is it possible to make it so you need to have a minimum posts/2 week period before you can create new threads?
The only true way of making it work is to require a monetary subscription to be a member, then each time they want to create a new alias it will cost them.

I HATE that we can no longer edit posts - even when no-one has replied.Sainter_Dad wrote:Minimum posts to make new threads wont work - they will just find a clog up the existing threads with rubbish until they hit the required amount - a simple bump will count as a post.HSVKing wrote:That's what I'm currently working on. part of the reigstration required to do so isn't working the right way yet.F_Q_F wrote:Is it possible to make it so you need to have a minimum posts/2 week period before you can create new threads?

Maybe - you need to be a St Kilda member - one registration per membership - wont stop a father or mother using their kids memberships - but that will dry up pretty soon - a scan of the membership card maybe - I don't know how the logistics of it would work - just brainstorming - and on a Thursday evening - pretty much running on fumes!
