yet again i'm only here for a bit advice, long time member slow time poster

I'm an admin bod on a music based Runboard forum. Nothing serious, more of a social one than alot.

After many changes of provider and name etc to get rid of abusive and bullying posters we settled down, and the rest went else where, both becoming members only by invite. Sound familiar?

What's happening is, that a couple of the more savvy people on the other site are getting on to our board and able to read it, then doing the very sad thing and copying and pasting messages and using that to abuse members.

Now, I'm thick skinned and don't give a monkey's but some of members are getting really upset.

The only thing I know is that using some search on google, they are able to get round the membership thingy rather than using somebodies login.

Any suggestions on how this works and how to close down the loophole would be very appreciated.

If need be I'll post the URL either here or by PM

Thanks in advance
