My motivation for changing the sign up is so I can block thier email address to keep them from signing up.  I keep deleting thier user name each time and blocking each new ip address........I think this new way would help to require them to enter a valid email address except, any other new members that may want to join won't be able to join as the responding emailer is not working properly to get the link to them so they can get in.

HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

My site is hosted on an NT server, I have my mailer set for the CDONTS.......like I said it was working before (all the notifications) I haven't changed any of the settings, it has stopped sending the notifications, but I can send email to another member through the site.

Perhaps it is time to resort to more drastic measures then... Email him and ask him not to return, then if he does, mail bomb the hell out of him using his own email address so that he gets all the returns. One mailing of about 10,000 or so should screw his email account for 2 days or so.

If the tech side gets too difficult, the old-fashioned way works - use a cyber-baseball bat

blocking just the last portion of an ip range that is 255.255.255.* is mostly uselss and inefficient.. the least way is to block last 2 portions that is 255.255.*.* but this way u can block out the attacker with about 90% efficiency how ever its not recommended bcuz u are also goin to block a good number of visitors from your website...

Ya know, I did just that! and they still got in!

But I have resolved the problem now by deleting the account and requiring a valid email address for them to sign up.  Now I can block the email address.

The funny story behind this, is after I resorted to the email thing, they tried to sign in again using a fake email address couldn't get in and wrote me a letter apologizing and begging me to please let them post.

As I am a firm believer in second chances, I allowed them in, they have made 2 posts and gone away, guess it's not so much fun to have to be nice huh? LOL
