There is no documentation on this on the entire world wide web. There seems to be a variable missing for the user's IP address that can be passed-in to the function. I tried user_name, but that didn't work and I'm not sure about the range parameter either... I tried "66.187.0.0/16" but that didn't seem to work.
Much appreciated.
Al i dunno why bringing this up struck a note in my mind but i am thinking if we want to block spam and abuse on one's wiki couldnt this function be tied into something like an email dns black list of known spam ips?

I'm glad that I was able to spur some more talk about spam... again /o)
Now, can anyone even venture a guess to my question or shall I start hacking away? I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not the only one with a moderately hacked wiki.

Al have you tried questy captcha. It is great and cuts down spam quite a bit. the document foundation use it, but the issue is localization of questions which is somethign I am working on with the questy dev as well as for the document foundation.

It accepts a pretty wide range of formats (see IP::parseRange()). So,
ip_in_range(user_name, '127.0.0.1/16') ip_in_range(user_name, '127.0.0.1') ip_in_range(user_name, '127.0.0.0-127.0.255.255')
Will all trigger for a localhost editor.

Right, but this only works for anonymous users. user_name holds the IP for anonymous users. I went ahead and hacked a fix to add a user_ip variable; pretty simple.
