Me too, but as the sender had 'banned' under their name I just deleted it ..although this was the first that said my access would be blocked if I didn't click on their alleged security check ..and I wasn't shaking in my stylish yet affordable red boots {yolkfolk}:animwink:

I've just blocked a new kind of adbot that posts in the visitors section of people's profiles.

RadiantBurrito has been sentenced to eternity in Zaks' Castle, where it can rot. :tongue:

I think it must be a spoof with the top right hand can proudly saying it also contains 'stinky french garlic'. The one that made me shudder was 'spam spread'. :sick:

Andy, or Peter, or whoever sees this first, you might want to do another IP block here.

I've just banned a user with the name cgte708c, which I already banned 3 times but with different numbers in the username.

Looking at It's IP address, there are also these many usernames (all already banned).

Plus 2 i've deleted.

To stop this i've switched on moderation for new members so they can't post until an mod/admin activates the account.

I thought blocking was normal cos when I've forgotten to renew my membership I can't post anything. Still on the bright side lots more £2.50's for the site costs.

Hence the 13 notifications I have on the top of the page. :tongue:

I can't seem to look at the notifications though as I get a message saying I don't have permission.

Ignore the notifications as it will try to load the vb admin page.

Instead look in the mod panel and you will find the authorisation page

Ah, got it now :smile:

I hope I don't end up deleting a real person by accident. :confused:
