There are many unwanted users posted some funky wordings/text in my forum constantly! I already locked their member name and also deleted their user ID. Can you tell me how they got back in with the same user ID?
Can you tell me how can I get rid there userID permanently deleted for good?
Please advice,
Thanks,

? how can you lock a member and delete their userid?
Please explain what you have done/are doing. If you lock a member it is not possible to register with that name agian, if you delete a member then anyone can reregister with that name, userid's are unique and can never be reused whther the user is deleted or not.

Hi HuwR,
Well, I locked the member’s User first from the forum, then I went to the member’s TAB (link) and look for his/her User and click the “delete member” and I can see the member’s User’s gone. So I assuming I already deleted the User too just to make sure besides just locked.
But either I locked him or deleted him after, he/she shouldn’t able to login under the same User, but he came back the next time and signed back in under the same User again?
A mean, I can’t avoid unwanted people to register it even he/she register as a new user, I guess I just have to keep locking / delete their User again if he/she continuously posting unwanted massage.. Overall, can you tell me which the best way to do, “lock” the User or “delete the “User” is the best way?
Please advice,

It's always best to lock, to stop unwanted from registering under the same name. If you delete them, they can just register again with the same username.

Hi ruirib,
Great, then I will just lock them from now on, but after I locked the user, is it ok also deletes the “topic” after? So other members can’t see the topic?
Also, is there’s a MOD I can download that can list / see ALL the User’s name at once (one page), then all I have to do is to choose (click,click,click) any User and lock them ALL at once (Batch), rather than lock ONE, then a little pop-up window I have to confirm it with my password as each every time.
Please advice,
Thanks

3.4.07 has a zap member feature that will lock and allow post deletion, but those operations need to be done one user at a time.
As I said, if you are having spam issues, you better start to approve members before accepting them. Otherwise you can have a look at the spam fighting advice here: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=65057
