Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 24, 20213 yr Guests cannot post - as per permission however some one is posting link - I have deleted three times... they all were with different names
December 24, 20213 yr It was probably the Post Before Registering feature. The account was confirmed/created using the name KatringaTwisa and then deleted and kept the content. Check the moderator logs to see if any moderator has deleted it.
December 25, 20213 yr Author I am the only one person ...as admin 2. I deleted post and then there was new post ..... again and this happened thrice with new names
December 25, 20213 yr As mentioned, the name “Guest [something]” suggests, that these posts were NOT made by guests, but by (now deleted) members. The “guest” in the name doesn’t mean that this is a guest post, but that the account has been deleted.
December 28, 20213 yr It does look like, as mentioned above, its people who have since been deleted. Do you by any chance have something on your site whereby users can delete themselves?
February 7, 20223 yr I am running into this issue now more frequently. I have a 3 post moderator rule that people's posts will not show unless approved by a moderator. These people never posted to be approved so I do not know how these posts are being published.

February 7, 20223 yr Ok I think I found the issue. I went into Groups, then Guests, and scrolled down the list of forums. There was a checkmark in the "post" column. Not sure how this one forum that has existed for years had this, but I have removed that. Let me see if this continues. Not sure why I did not look there earlier.
