DesperateFans Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Like many users I am usually quite pleased to let just anybody join my website forum, it's a place that was created for fun. Now I've had users come into my forum and pull a lot of stupid and rude stunts, I have banned his IP almost 60 times, banned every email address he's ever registered with and even changed the registration to admin approval only. He still keeps managing to slip though. I would like an option to be able to only allow current trusted uses to have invites to invite people to join the forum. That way, if this guy shows up again I know who to get rid of. I don't want to close it down as this forum has been around since 2004 but this is getting to be ridiculous, he keeps pinging his IP and creating new emails every day and I've had enough. My forum is located http://desperatefans.org/forum If there is already an option for this, or a hook then could anybody help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testimony Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 This hook looks interesting. I was also looking for invite only solution for ip.board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
