It wont let me ban guests, or their IP's, so that one gambling spammer keeps coming back!

i'm not sure how a guest can even post. I just checked the permissions and the only thing a guest can do is view. I guess I am going to have to do some more research on the smf site and figure out another way to stop the spam.

btw, i was going to download the old theme that we used to have, cerberus, but it is only compatible with version 1.1.7. i think that was part of the problem. i hope the new theme is ok...
