Hi

I am experiencing a number of problems with users from a rival website joining my forum and posting abusive comments and sending rude and offensive pms to all my members.
I know that this has been discussed before, but is it possible for Admin to have the ability to turn on/off a watch users' pm messages for those users that come under suspicion?
Also could we turn on/off the feature that allows moderators to see Users' IP Addresses.
Another suggestion is regarding registration, would it be possible to restrict users' email addresses to none web based email addresses like hotmail, yahoo and lycos etc and only allow email address such as those from isps etc, like eBay does.

Just a few thoughts and I would appreciate any feedback on how I can do this on my phpBB forum.

Regards

Andy

this has been suggested a million times but each time Limez says no.
Even I would like those features, beacuse severl spammers have registered with trasmail.net id's and spammed a lot, though I suggested it, Limez says no each time...

so the email address thing has been rejected before or do you mean the private messages bit?

rsrikanth05 · 04-24-2006, 08:07 AM

both...

velodrome · 04-24-2006, 09:13 AM

ok thanks

we can ban single email address so if we ban @hotmail.com addresses will that work?
if so how do we specify a particular domain to ban

Maneel · 04-24-2006, 09:48 AM

I believe you can turn off the users ability to send pms.

Or is that phpbb FM?

yeah you can turn off the ability to send but not to receive

any thoughts on stopping moderators seeing users' ip addresses?
