Hi Tom, I would just urge you to be cautious with IP blocking on the site, remember that most of the people in the UK have dynamic IP address's which means you could inadvertantly (sp?) block somebody else who gets reassigned that IP. I know IP blocking can be succesful, but should really be a last last resort, plus if the spammer is good, he/she will just use an ip spoofer.

Great job on the new look of the site though, its a nice update to that familar design

Hey there,

Thanks for the comments!

In regards to IP blocking, yeah you're right, AOL users tend to share IP's which is a bit annoying.

But theres not much else you can do really except block and IP if someone is ruining the site.

Maybe bans should be set as permament or semi (lifted automatically after 1 week)

I've put on counters now to see how many times a banned IP address tries to access the network, so we can fairly easily see if we have locked out a billion people
