how do I deal with false members

[Mike]

I was looking through my members and found several account-disabled members how do I stop them from registering to my forum?

Hi
There’s never any cast iron guarantee of keeping them out. But, you can try some deterrents:


If you have guest posting, it’s recommended that you set your board permissions so only members can create threads and reply to posts.

I would also recommend enabling the Restrict Registration option so you can vet new members before they are able to participate on the forum.

To enable Restrict Registration, go to Admin > Settings > Forum Settings, Login and Registration tab.

You can read more about the available options in our Help Guide article Managing Membership - Registration Options and Settings
