Settings¶

This will take you to Member Settings.

IP addresses¶

Specify IP addresses to ban from site registration and login. Use wildcards to ban blocks of IP addresses. For example, 123.321.*. Each IP address should be placed on a separate line.

You also set what happens when a user with a banned IP address tries to access the site:

• Restrict the user to viewing the site only. They will not be able to submit comments or do anything else except passively view the content.
• Show the user a specific message.
• Redirect the user to another specified site.

Email addresses¶

Specify email addresses to ban from site registration and login. Use wildcards for partial email addresses. For example, *@spammydomain.com. Each address should be placed on a separate line.

Restricted usernames¶

Specify usernames that cannot be used for member accounts, which can be handy for reserving certain usernames for your own use.

Restricted screen names¶

Specify screen names that cannot be used for member accounts, which can be handy for reserving certain screen names for your own use.

When a banned user attempts access¶

You can prevent access completely by forwarding them to another website, or show them an unavailable message, or allow them to access the website in view only mode.
