sorry if this question has been posted.

some of my users keep posting nude pix on my XOOPS site so want to ban them but couldn't get it to work. This is what i did.

I created a group called "banned" and this group have no right access to forums, news, links, etc.

then I added the users to this group.

after that, i deleted the users from "registered users" group

I thought this should be able to keep the unwanted users from access the site, but for some reason, they are still able to post.

IP address doesn't work because i think they use dial up.

well done that's it in a nutshell.. but remmber that an IP ban is hardly effective these day's for example my real IP is masked constantly with another IP .... not only that but dial up connections are so hard to get the user perm banned.

but you got it :o) great that banned group and do that or if your really sneaky you can just go into the users account and change there email address and password that way they can not log in and use your site .. but then they will most likely create another user account again but then they need to create an email account ;O they will get tired of it sooner or later just keep deleating there accounts and restricting there email accounts and access to your site............... good luck
