Thank you for answering my previous questions Tamara, that solved the problem.
First because of trolls and trouble makers I have recently made my forum at
http://disc.yourwebapps.com/Indices/64854.html Registered only. We've worked through and solved a lot of the registration problems but I have at least a dozen e-mails from those that say after registering they don't receive a confirmation e-mail from webapps and can't post. I've advised them about spam folders hiding things, making sure their e-mail is valid but in most cases these don't apply. Any Ideas.
Second I had someone come on the forum and post impersonating me JW Kline Forum Operator and insulting everyone on the forum. The only difference is I post as JW Kline - Forum Operator. When I ran a search for that name I come up with nothing registered. I've had the same thing happen with several other names. The come up as not registered with you so I can't add them and block them. Any ideas on that one. I going to have to do some experimenting to see if I can duplicate this which at this point I can't.
I've had a small group of maybe six people out of fifteen hundred readers and posters who seem to have made it their life's work to be detriments to society and to post malicious, obscene, profane, etc. posts. In fact not a thread past that one of these didn't interject something pornographic into it. He is now slipping through posting as TEAMAN which doesn't come up in a search either.
Hopefully some day we will have a way to block all of these dysfunctional malcontents.
Going over to registration has really been a help in solving ninety percent of the abusive post problems. The other ten percent we are just going to have to develop work around's for. If you already have them, I would appreciate the assistance of your expertise.
Thanks Tamara,
John Wayne Kline
