To flag a member in the ACP to make browsing the site frustrating, buy username, IP or both, to discourage from hanging around
Lagging, slow to load, missing content etc
To be fair - even if your on 4.1.1 for example and you upgrade to 4.1.2 (as an example) for a security issue with some bug fixes, things still break, been there done that...... Backup, Backup Backup, then get a few beers and then upgrade......
Your forum has grown, many thangs have changed in the years, number of visitors, pages viewed, im just guessing but it could be any number of things including the hosts side with limits changing
Whats your hosting ? Shared Server ? VPS ? im guessing not dedicated
Your hitting your resources limits so you need to upgrade to better hosting either with the same hosting provider or a new one - if your on shared then consider a VPS, if your on a VPS consider a bigger better VPS or a dedicated
Or change to Invision Hosting and have all your hosting troubles go way
that doesnt show the before and after - ie price increase
Does "At this time" mean other packages will get an increase soon ie other customers packages ?
Mod Queueing is a ball ache - as just adds to work, if its automated then its a dream
We also have plenty of block lists in our CSF firewall including stopforumspam which helps a lot - along with various other blocklists including

I would also say that having in ACP the ability to limit groups for things like about me etc would be beneficial to stop more spammers
Hi @InvisionHQ
tried to message you but you cant accept message
When will this be updated for 4.6 ? Reason I ask is I just purchased nit realising it only works on 4.4 and my boards 4.6.9
Download the converters when you download the 4.6.9 from the client area, I havent done XenForo but have done vB and the converters are pretty good and IPS are good at helping if the converters give a problem
We found a newbie group with 5 posts that then get auto upgraded to a member - the newbies are restricted on everything and normally the human spammers make 3,4,5 posts in quick succession or within a few hours - of rubbish posts to get promoted so they can post spam or links etc - members on the site always see this and click the report button - 3 reports and the Newbie (more than likely spammer) gets posts hidden and mod approval.....
Works a treat and not a lot of work at all
