I currently have an instances where one new member (spammer from China) has been able to register his username twice within 1 minute. He then proceeded to do 3 spam posts and then went on to changed his email address in second registration.
First registration was deleted as spam and reported to Stop Forum Spam after he had posted.
The second registration was then banned by moderator.... However it did not show as banned in his profile, but did in Banned Users list, whilst the first registration does not show up in the Banned Users list at all.
I have tried to register 2 usernames the same and it won't allow it. Have tied a dozen different ways to do what this user has done and can't duplicate it.
Is this a bug or known fault? If so is anything being done about it? If not can something be done about it?
Like many forums we have been under span attack since late December 2010 we have only just upgraded to 4.1.2 after waiting for a really stable platform and being a bit hesitant to bite the bullet. As part of the fight against spam We have installed GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic. However there doesn't appear to be any conflict with this hack and vB4.
Forum in question is Renovate Forum
Any and all help or information regarding this problem would be appreciated.
Cheers - Neil
