 Topic: banned members bug
Posted: 09 October 2004 at 5:15pm |
I often have to ban members for 1 month. I usually de-activate their accounts. However, I have just noticed that they can re-send the activation email.
The only way around this is to change their email addy to one of my own so the email cannot be recieved by them & I know if they are trying!
Maybe include a banned field in the next version?

However, I have just remembered that even if they do have an actiavtion
email sent through the activation page checks to see if the user is
banned, if they are it will not activate the account.

I have just checked the code on the resend activation email page and
there is a check that if the user has had their account suspended they
are sent to an insufficient permissions page.
Make sure that you are running the latest version and that the file is not corrupted.

Thanks Borg.
Using v7.9 (SQL Server) which is not corrupted, I tested it and still someone whose account has been disabled can request a new activation email.
When you suspend an account, do you just click the radio button in their profile or am I missing something? From what you say, there must be something in the code that ticks a button or whatever in the DB when an account is disabled by a moderator?

In the profile you need to select that the user account is not active.
I have been through and tested this and if your account is suspended
then it will display a message saying so for many parts of the forum.
If you try a go directly to the, resend activation email page (as a
link will not appear to it), then you will be sent to a page saying you
don't have sufficient permissions to go to that page.

Sorry forgot to mention, it's not your database I was saying maybe corrupted, but the ASP files on the server.
Try reuploading the ASP files.
On the of biggest problems I find when people report errors is that s afile has got corruopted when FTPing them to the server.

boRg,
I had this problem too. I think if you just set the user account as not active and the user still has the original activation e-mail, he will be able to re-activate his account. I don't know what happens if you really ban his e-mail address.
