Attention Club Forum Site Admins

Hi Guys,

I was going through the user lists on http://www.ozcollins.com/pantherbb this morning and I picked up on something you might want to check out.
Every week on the same day for the last 4 weeks I have had a new member sign up that appears to be a web robot/spider of some description. The user name comprises random 6-8 characters and the email and web adddresses supplied are nonexistant but are all in the .info domains.
I have deleted the members and am looking for a way to block .info addresses from my userlist.

Thanks for that, SO64.

You may already know this, but under Ban Control in the Admin section, you can specify email names to ban, using * to cover any from that address: eg

*@abcdef.info

*@abcdef.com

etc, etc.

This is a problem for all phb bulletin boards - lots of dodgy scripts going around the net, including ones that register accounts and start spam threads. Annoying.
