Guests modifying Ban list and other permissions

[Jiyoon]

Hello,

I'm one of the admins of an SMF forum,and we've been having a problem with spambots and guests lately.

When we took a closer look at the online list,we were able to see the guests could modify permissions and ban list.

Guest (66.)
Guest (66.249) 28 seconds ago Editing the forum permissions.

They were around 20 of the guests and our forums were down for 10hours because of it.

We ask for your help on this since we have no idea on how to fix this issue.

Thank you

In your permissions for Guests, what are they allowed to do? If I remember correctly, banning is only available to admins, not via permissions.

If you have data in your forum error log please PM it to me?

Guest can't do anything,i just checked in the permissions options for guests,they can't even see the forums or the shoutbox,we've seen a massive amount of spam bots lately,and the only way for us to keep them away from the forums was to set the registration option in "member approval".

The error log is empty.

What do you think we should do?

Do you guys know what to do ? thanks

check the mod site for some of the anti-spam mods, also be sure you are running the most updated version of smf either 1.1.14 or 2.0 .
