A couple of days ago there was some error loading Nabble to get to my forums (about 9:00 p.m. DST). Once I did, I saw that a small private forum where all the members have admin powers had a spam thread in it (for Rx meds), and the permissions had been changed to allow registered users to add topics. It had previously been set that only members and admins had that ability, and our registered user list matched our members list. I un-checked all the registered user permissions and deleted the topic. Last night, again around 9:00, same problem loading and immediately after, there was the same checkmark in the registered users column but no spam thread. I un-checked it.
This a.m., I went and looked at the registered users list and parlabewell <abr.a.ka.dab.ra.b.eep@gmail.com> had added itself, and is not a member of our forum. I tried to delete parlabewell but it's a read-only list. I have created a Banned Users group and put parlabewell on it, but would prefer to rid our forum of the bug in the first place that allowed this spambot to come in and change our settings, if possible.
