    Ok i have this problem with a member on my forums, he keeps spamming up my support E-mail and i want to know how to stop him. i've banned him from the forums but as a guest he uses the "contact us" bit to post emails like this:

    Spamspamspamspamspamspam
    this goes one for pages. and its clogging up the support e-mails for users who actually need support. can anyone tell me the action i need to take to take this retard off the net?

        If you allow Contact Us emails then there really is no realistic way to stop this. You cna disable this for a while until he gets bored and gives up.

          How about temporarily setting up an auto reply for that address?

            I just disabled guests from using the contact form. I had so many folks using it for their free ipod links and all kinds of junk. I have a set email address on the forums under a section about bans for users to use.

            Disabling it temp usually works out best.
