People are signing up and not posting. They are sending spam PMs to members about having viruses. I can't find some of them in the member list to ban. Unless they post, not sure I can ban them since I don't see them in the member list. One is SuperModer. How do I get rid of this guy?

 

AdminModerators is another one I can't access. I can see them at the bottom of the screen under online users but can't access their account and they don't show up on the members list.

 

Patrick,

Why couldn't I see these guys in the member list? When they were online I could see their names at the bottom of the home page but when I clicked on them there it said I didn't have permission to their profiles. How could that be?

 

Might it have been a timing issue, where they had been banned by someone but their usernames hadnt timed out? whenever someone is banned in VB, they show up "doing" whatever they were doing when they were banned...which means they also stay in the user list at the bottom of the forum.

also, i see that a bunch of these spammers using admin or mod in their titles never verified their email addresses so they arent "real members" yet...so they wont show up in the member list atop the forum.

is your other site getting these poser staff spammers? Ive talked to a few admins from sites im not involved with and theyve been dealing with the same thing...

 

Not yet.
