Yes. Before you add an administrator to your message board, make sure that you trust them completely.

Only grant this permission to a member of your forum if you really have to. Start by logging in as the administrator, then click "Members". On the very right of the member you wish to make an administrator, click the pencil icon. A pop-up window will appear with your username and password already entered, just click "Submit". At the bottom of the window, change the users status to "Administrator" and click "Submit".

Can I ban a user? |
|
There is no foolproof way to ban a user, either by i.p. address or by any other means. We find that the best way to treat a troublesome member of your forums is to either delete their posts or ignore them completely. You may also delete their account which would make them have to register everytime they post.
