Chenner29 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I flagged 6 or 7 usernames today to restrict them from further posting. looked up their IP addresses, 4 of them came from the same IP. PMed @TheGoalNet to see if we can just ban that one to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, reporting a post doesn't do anything besides sending it to a Mod to review - but that post is still on the forum in the meantime and clogging up the "Latest" section. IE: If trusted/active/high post-count members of the forum report a post, it automatically and immediately gets hidden from public view and sent to the mods for review, where they can delete or approve/re-instate the post? I believe there is an option in this BB software to restrict a user's first post to have a moderator approval, that may be the way to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
