wpForo 1.x.x [Closed] User banned for using icons?

JanJan · 2022-06-27T07:21:50Z

Hi, One of our legitimate forum users got banned. He writes this: I wanted to update my profile's displayed name (I wanted to make it "MyName 🇺🇦") on the forum, but for some reason, I've been banned :)Maybe icons are not allowed to be used... Could this be the reason for the user having been banned? Bildschirmfoto-2022-06-27-um-09.17.39.png

I have tried the same, using the same settings as in your website, but I didn't get a ban.

In case you want to say thank you !)

If you have security plugins that can ban users, try deactivating them. As wpForo doesn't set the user as a spammer for using the icon.
