Block Scammer
I do not know, is there a other way, but at the moment, if a Scammer visit my site, i can suspend him or delete him with content, but then the email adress is again available for registration, so the scammer can register again and again with the same email adress.
Is there a way, to delete all content and block the member? Actual I must delte the member with content, then add this member again in studio and set it to suspend, that is not comfortable
-
Maybe block the IP, disable that feature of being able to post after they confirm their email........then enable it when u confirm it's not spam/scam, add the captcha, charge a small fee, look in the market for a mod that makes the new member who is joining......to figure something out before they become a member.

Hello @Someone07 !
You may also setup the Antispam app, see the Help section there.

the problem is not, that robots come to my site, they are humans, it seems, most from ukraine and russia, they try to make scam, write a lot of messages to other users, where they write a email adress or phone number, i think, that is classical romantic scam.
i do not like ip blocking, because it could be possible, that other users can be affect. if users must pay, believe, i lose new customers, have free account and paid account.
is it not possible to make a solution, where you can delete all content and suspend the user in one way? i can not imagine, i am the only one, who have this problem :)
-
You may find all suspend members in the Studio->Accounts->Manage area.
-
If you use Antispam module and enable StopForumSpam, then you can submit user's email to StopForumSpam, then next time this email will not be allowed or marked as pending after registration (depending on your settings).
-
yes, this is a way, but also uncomfortable, on stopforumspam page, you have to fill out an extra form, so i stay with my solution, delete member with content and then add a new account with the scammer email adress and suspend it. i am not realy happy with this way, maybe you find for the next update a better solution, where the two steps (delete content and suspend account) are possible in one
-
Plz specify why it isn't good for you just to suspend account?
-
I assume you can just suspend account as admin
-
The Problem is, you can not delete all Content from a person and suspend a perosn at the same time. That is, what i am missing.
-
But the content of the suspended user isn't visible on the site for non-admin users. So this solution is still good.
-
Ok, that means also, if a Scammer wrote a lot of Messages to other Members and I suspend the User, all the wroten Messages are away? I saw, if I suspend a Member, the Content is available like in Timeline. For me is important, that if I suspend a Member, all Content is realy away.

Hello!
If you delete Member with Content then the all talks and messages which are belongs to this member should be also removed.
-
Delete the member and then block thir IP for XX Days. Usually 5 days works well.
Then add the Antispam module DISPOSABLE EMAIL DOMAINS and DISALLOW DISPOSABLE DOMAINS
