Saurabh Jain Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Guests cannot post - as per permission however some one is posting link - I have deleted three times... they all were with different names
Adriano Faria Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 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.
Saurabh Jain Posted December 25, 2021 Author Posted December 25, 2021 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
opentype Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 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.
Marc Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 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?
JEFF MACK Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 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.

Was this posted by a previous user who was deleted?

JEFF MACK Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited February 7, 2022 by JEFF MACK Marc 1
Jim M Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Excellent. Please let us know if that does or does not resolve the issue.
