Title: problem
Post by: onlinegaming on August 02, 2013, 12:10:06 am
well I am not sure If i am in the right place...


however i have found out that creating an account in the forum can be manipulated what i mean by that is that you can create accounts without verifying it...


for example i created an account with a fake email (random that doesn't exist) it logged me in the forum and never asked for verify in order to log in.. this is a problem because someone with bot can make multiple accounts and spamm the forum in that way


i want my forum to be clear i don't want fake account in it!! i want real members that they have real email...


i want each member that creates an account to verify their account in order to continue... or want them to get an email in order to continue they need to activate their account i want an option like this please!

You don't need real email you can ban by IP address.

Go to admin panel, then under "Members" click registration, then settings, and under "Method of registration employed for new members" click email activation or admin approval, whichever you think would best work for your forum.
