I'm at work right now. This doesn't really help. Threads about a spammer are in fact spam themselves. The report button is sufficient. I cleaned it up a bit. I'll finish when I get home.

No worries, when I delete the user it delete all posts at once.

Damn, that's cold. I almost feel sorry for the bot. ;p

Damn, I missed a user getting banned...... Is it too late to join in the hating? I really want to be part of an angry mob at least once in my life, even if it is only a virtual one.

lol

Yeah I could trust you to edit user's profiles and delete users, but I don't have a corresponding interface for the main site. I log on with SSL, and use a command line script to delete the main site account, and then still have manually to log on here and delete the user too. So on the one hand, I couldn't give you the keys because there is no complete dashboard. If I let you delete a user from here, I loose some information necessary for me to link to the main site, and PunBB doesn't log the deleted users.

On the other hand, this is working well. You help me out a bunch as you can act when I am not here, and banning a user is sufficient. Then I can go in when I have time and check the IP's, put in place IP range bans if possible, and then do the SSL thing.
