Not sure how your banning folks, but I noticed that you've been hitting the bots with a 7 day ban, instead of a permanent one. Probably moot, but if you want to perma-ban them, it's really easy:

Just click on the user's name, and then choose Edit User Profile.

It'll make you log into the mod panel and, when it does, it'll take you to the user's main page. From there you can change their group from 'Registered Users' or 'Users Awaiting Email Confirmation' to 'Banned Users'.

Click save at the bottom of the page and you're done.

Like I said, it's probably moot, but ... just wanted to let ya know how to do it, in case you care.

When you click on their user name, it pulls up a window with their name, status and title and then a yellow bar with a few options: Send Message, User Lists, User Notes and Edit User Profile. Do you see that? (I don't >think< it is just an admin thing...)

If you click on Edit User Profile it asks you to log in to the mod panel (you should have gotten the username & pw when you were made a mod? Though you were before me, and VS, so... maybe not?!) That's where you can perma-ban folks...

Does that help?

I'm right there with you... this is beyond annoying. Give a shout if the mod panel thing doesn't work.

And yeah, I saw your reply to my new BFF in that adult chat thread. I gave him a week off for being a twat. What a bunch of princesses we have here - I'm remembering why I don't come around much. :}

I'm not sure I'm allowed to give it out.

I had to email Yung to get the password: [email protected]

You just give 'em your username & the forum you're on and he'll hook you up. I'm also not sure if he's the right guy, still, but... if he isn't, I'm sure he can point you in the right direction.

Hey Yung,

It's shalihe74 from the 675.net forum. May I have the username/password for the mod control panel?

Thanks!

And I agree with ya on the quality of the folks around here. It's inevitable, I suppose. When the 'tona was new and unique, you got a special kind of person here. Now it has been around long enough that it's like any other kind of bike, really, and there's not much difference between the riders of a 675 and a Gixxer. It's too bad.
