Ok, I’d go into
Dashboard>forums>replies and look for his reply – it should be near the top, and see what it’s status is. You could delete it or publish it, and that should free him up.
Robin, thanks for the reply.
I don’t have Dashboard>forums>replies but I have Dashboard>Right now in forums>replies
If I click on replies I get a white page with 1 message: Cheatin’ uh?
If I click on forums or topics I get the actual forum or topics list.
Oh, I’ve found the replies on the admin side bar sorry, that works.
His posts are under spam.
great, presume you’re fixed !
Ok, I managed to click on “not spam” for this posts and they appeared in the forums however any new post from this user ends up in spam again. Any idea?
Can’t say as I’ve heard of this but not personally seen it.
are you using askimet or another spam filter?
Yes, akismet was active and disabling it solves the problem. I guess this is a akismet issue and I’ll see how to solve it.
Thanks
Interesting – I’m not sure why askimet has got so upset with your user!
You can switch off Askimet JUST for your forum, which might be a better idea whilst you work out how to get him working again. Then at least your main site will still be protected
Go into Dashboard>settings>forums and you’ll see a setting at the bottom.
It could also be if they are posting a topic/reply with several links…
There is a setting in Dashboard>setting>discussion that says “Hold a comment in the queue if it contains 2 or more links. (A common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of hyperlinks.)” The ‘2’ is the default number that you can alter.
That would get him held as potential spam.
