Member Accounts

[Jessica.]

I have noticed that every night an account is made with two capital letters at the beginning of the username. When I click on the account to view the profile, I do not have permission. This has happened for about the last 6 days.

Tonights account is WOnu.

This is the page I get every time I click one of the names

What if it's some sort of virus? maybe the admins should check it out! :shocked:

I dunno what it is but it's really strange!

Me thinks you have too much time on your hands to notice things like this.

Might be forum bots.

Apparently you die in 7 days if you click that link...

Even i get it..

It says about you may be trying to edit their profile and are not allowed.. but i am? lol..

The reason the no permission page shows is because the account doesnt exist, have a look on the member list for it. It may just be a temporary account created by the Vbulletin program itself, in order to self test, check or monitor usuage.

It could also be a temporary account created to allow full access to the site for search engines. Or an in built sub routine to map the site at certain times for search engines.

I am not sure if vbulletin deletes unactivated accounts after a set period, it could be the result of that as well.

It's a user account waiting approval. Probably a spammer.
