To ban an existing member, simply go to the <a href="{base_url}&section=content&act=mem&code=search">Manage Members</a> page, find and edit their account, and finally switch their Primary User Group to <i>Banned</i>. This will stop them from viewing the board when logged in. To ban certain IPs from viewing the board, or to ban certain emails or username names from signing up, you can use this section.<br />
<br />
<b>Note</b>: You can use * as a wildcard in any Username, IP, or Email filter. (Example: 127.0.*, *@yahoo.com, bannedname*). Also ensure there are no spaces before or after your ban filter - in some cases this will cause the filter to not work properly.
