A board I'm an admin on has a mod forum that only mods can see (it's not password protected, just hidden to everyone else)...

Anyways, someone spammed our cbox with links to their site, and I posted a topic in the mod forum about it... Then they made a post in the cbox saying it's not nice to talk about people in a staff forum and posted the link to the topic:


I've concluded one of our mods is:

A. Is an admin of another board that is spamming our site

B. Gave a member of another board that is spamming our site the password to their account

C. has had their account hacked

Is there any other possibility?

Well, you may have set permission maks wrong. Who made the post? If it was someone that was not a moderator an admin must have given then special permissions.

i'd change all of your admin/mod passwords and request that they re-register and PM you from the same ip if possible that they registered on before.

Thank you for your responses...

The forum masks are set properly... I even have a test account that has standard member privileges and I couldn't get in, even using the link...

It wasn't a non mod posting... Just one that new the exact link to a specific thread...

As for the reregister, most mods have been with the board a while and have different IP's but I think a password change is inorder

A blast from the past.

There is the chance that the spamming member is a friend with one of the staff members, and the staff "leaked" it to them, also the staff member may of just did it even though there was no friendship there.
