One every now and then and no persistent problems? I think we're doing good - and Joe is doing a great job of staying on top of the situation!
Serendipity has also been banned by IP. I hope there aren't any real users in the neighborhood using the same host. Tim D. |

It's not possible to block someone who is willing to manually register. All we can do is chop them as soon as they stick their nasty heads up. Thanks Joe.

A lot of people (like me) don't have a fixed IP address, so you would have to ban a full class B subnet to make it effective.
But no worry. This place is nice and quiet. I just deleted the PM as it was quite obvious what it was. Thanks for being alert though. I noticed (s)he was banned already when I noticed the PM.
