Here is how I approve each new member.
 
Open register.asp and look for:
 

 '******************************************
  '***     Send activate email    ***
  '******************************************
 
  Dim strEmailApprove  
'LETS MAKE THE ADMIN GET IT FIRST

   strEmailApprove = "myown@emailaddress.com"

 'Inititlaise the subject of the e-mail that may be sent in the next if/ifelse statements


strSubject = "" & strTxtWelcome & " " &

strTxtEmailToThe & " " & strMainForumName
 
 
 
Notice I added strEmailApprove
 
Now change a few lines down:
 
strEmailBody = strEmailBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strTxtEmailThankYouForRegistering & " " & strMainForumName & ". - " & strEmail & ""
 
and
 
 
blnSentEmail = SendMail(strEmailBody, decodeString(strUsername), strEmailApprove, strMainForumName, decodeString(strForumEmailAddress), strSubject, strMailComponent, false)
 
Now registrations will be sent to you and you can copy the emailaddress and forward it if you want to.

The truth is that there is no way to 100% block a user from a forum unless on a publicly accessible forum.

  • If you block the IP address, then most likely the user is on adynamic IP which will change, or the user can just come in through aproxy server.
  • If you ban the IP range, then you will most likely penalize otherusers on that network, and the "bad" user can again come in throughanother network or through a proxy.
  • If you ban the email address, then the user can just use another email address.
  • If you ban the email domain, the user can just get another.
  • If you ban the username, then the user will just create another one.
The best hope is to simply ban the users email, deactivate theusername, and hope he/she eventually tires of the game. Anothersuggestion is to allow new users to enter a group that has limitedrights and ladder them to the next, or manually elevate their rights.However, this has the cost of additional overhead on your part.

You could also setup the forum where admins have to manually activatemembers, but again there is the additional overhead in administration.
