Unbanning someone?
Hey Guys,
Does anybody know how I can unban somebody if they have never made a post? I can't seem to figure it out with the new software. Thanks for any help with this. craig |

Re: Unbanning someone?
Why would they be banned if they never made a post? And why would you unban them?
Usually the only banned people with no posts are spammers. You can unban them if you know their user number, though. |

Re: Unbanning someone?
In our forum (Affiliate/Rakeback) we allow a user to create a username (if they advertise with us) that can only be used in that forum; for example "rakereduction.com". The person in question had sent a PM to somebody (there was no spam) and David Sklansky banned the person. But, Sklansky said that if we allow him to have a username (his username is Mr.Rakeback) then we can unban him. But, I don't know how to do this.

It does make a person wonder what exactly happened here, but I won't pry further. To answer your question, I think you will have to get Mat to deal with this. He undoubtedly has more options in his admin. stuff. EDIT- If you know the date he registered, I might be able to find it. |

Re: Unbanning someone?
If you send him a PM and click the checkbox to save a copy (or, alternately, add him to your addressbook), you will then have a link to his user profile in the sent PM in your outbox (or in your addressbook) and from there you can unban him. However, I just tried that for him and was told "We have no record for the User that you are trying to send this message to."
You can do http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...php?User=49468 and keep decrementing the user number until you hit it (49468 is the latest user as of the time I'm writing this), but I just tried that and there are just to many users. It took me like 30 names before I even got through all the accounts registered today! |

I found him with the user numbers. |

He sent me two identical unsolicited spam PM's right on top of each other. I figured this guy had to be a spammer. Are you sure he's good? |
