Reserved / Banned usernames, emails and ip address
Posted on: February 28, 2000, 1:49 a.m.

The reserved banned section is pretty much self-explainitory, or already explained in the admin prorgam itself, but here are a few more tips.

  • Taken/Reserved Usernames The text listed here should be names you do not want someone to signup for. These could be naghty words, or account names that were abused in the past.Once the account is deleted, put the username here and no one will be able to use it again. All reserved account names should be on a new line.

  • Banned emails Banning emails will help you get control over who signs up and who doesn't. To ward off repeat offenders, enter their email address hereand they will not be allowed to obtain another account (using that email address). To ban whole domains, like say you wanted no one with a yahoo.com email address to sign up, just enter the domain name portion of the email address yahoo.com and anyone using a yahoo email address will be turned away. Enter each new email address or partial address on a new line.

  • IP Ban Banning ips will help you keep repeat offenders away. Using the ip logging you can see what ip they are using and paste it here, so they will not be able to sign up for a new account. Partial ips are also accepted. Enter each whole or partial ip on a new line.

    Press the submit changes button to save your changes on all three text boxes at once.
