My First Admin Action - cakoceag874 Is Permanently Banned!
I didn’t have to scroll too deep this morning to realize something wasn’t right with cakoceag874 as the last poster in many threads. After read 1 thread I realized this wasn’t one of us and their purpose wasn’t knives. I used my best AAPK Admin foo to figure out how to do it and voila he/she/it and their posts are now gone.
Thanks QS for the heads-up, we got your back!

It was low-hanging fruit for an admin-rookie but thanks for the votes of support

Right on, Tom...looks like we've got a new sheriff in town!
I am curious about one thing:
After someone has been banned, is it possible for them to re-join with a different user name?

totally possible Q but we are developing protocols that will help detect that such as IP Addresses and countries of origin but it’s a delicate balance determining who to grant membership to and who to deny.

Nice shot, Sheriff Tom! - With apologies to Doug Markida, “He will keel.”
Blew him clean out of the saddle!
In answer to the question from Q; it is possible to eliminate the IP address of the spammer and banned that address from being used again. There are a couple other parameters We use, though that I don't wish to disclose them to potential spammers by posting it in public.
Nice work Tom!

Thanks so much for being "on patrol" here Tom.
I've done admin/moderator work at another forum website in the past, so I know how challenging such work can be at times..!
Thanks again,
Mark

Well played Tom, in what can be a thankless and unending task a times, good to see you getting lots of support in your new role. Scammers and trolls know no bounds and should be eradicated as soon as detected, i have cleaned that last thought up a bit. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

You guys crack me up …. Just doin’ as those beside and before me have done …. It kinda stunned me though when the pattern was so obvious, even a blind squirrel could have found this nut but thank you for the very kind support.

Thanks Tom, and all the admins for that matter, for all your studious efforts in keeping this forum a pleasurable place to congregate, we sure appreciate it!
Re: My First Admin Action - cakoceag874 Is Permanently Banned!
Thanks again guys …. In my excitement (along the lines of catching your first shoplifter) I wanted the AAPK community to share in my joy but the reality is that my colleagues and Bryan take actions like this often protecting our intellectual property.
