Big help required! Admin articles + spammers!

OK, I'm facing a quite huge problem.

Since the last 2 weeks, I have to deal with a whole lot of spammers. You probably know how it is, you ban one of them and they come back with 20 after less then an hour.

The problem is that they are using the Admin articles tool to post all kinds of garbage.

Now, I thought the Admin articles were for the admin only? I thought memers did not have the option to use this tool? Am I wrong here?

If so, then where do I need to fix my settings?

If I'm not wrong, then do I have any solution left to make sure that this won't happen again?

Because right now, we can't keep it up anymore with 50 Admin articles being posted in 30 min by 10 different spammers...

HELP!

You can revoke member-editing access to the articles in Dolphin 6.1 by changing the membership level permissions under administration, settings, membership levels.

Magnussoft, thank you very much for your kind and fast reply, however, after checking the membership levels, I noticed there is not an option to allow or disallow members from posting in the admin articles?

I cannot find the admin articles between the Membership Actions list.

Hm, it would seem that you are right. It's been so long since I've used Dolphin 6.1, I made a guess (and was wrong). I'm not really sure how you can control this, then.

I wonder if they are injecting straight into your database?
