hey mario,

i had like 6 or 7 spam accounts on my site, then i decided to delete them, i went to admin cp, and selected them, (accidentally selecting admin account aswell)

then i hit delete or remove, after i clicked the button i realized my admin account was selected and tried to cancel it,

i had 30,000 videos on my website and nearly 200,000 views now i have 5k videos 20,000 views, and the admin account is still here,

i dont think i can restore it anyway so can you add a confirm deleting admin account thing for the update?

or maybe you know how to restore it? let me now please thanks

just realized this has also messed up some of my channels, my cartoons and animations channel has no videos showing, i have just added atleast 3 videos, they are in the correct channel

tried clearing website cache and browser cache and cookies no change? any ideas?


the only way i can see to prevent this is to add protection against spam accounts

Or...how about don't delete the admin account, or keep daily backup schedule on your server? There will never be a full protection against spam accounts, on any service.

well yea thats an option lol but it would not have happend in my opinion if the accounts delete part was not set up the way it is, not saying it is bad or anything just it could be a better layout or something like that, and the are you sure question for admin account would help i think but it was my stupidity that caused the problem lol

i know it is my fault i deleted the admin account i was just asking if there was any kind of way to restore it

yes i know that there is no full protection against spam accounts or anything but the bots or whatever it is that is making accounts on my site seems to have no problems at all with captcha or anything, is there any way to add something like if they mess up capthca x amount of times they will automatically be banned?

these are only questions mario dont mean to annoy you or anything

I will make a split of the manager, one for users, one for moderators and up.
For captcha, you can track via session how many times the attempt has been made where the captcha returns the error.
