I guess I am suggestin you should have this option in the software.
If a registered user is blocked, it blocks their name and IP.
Why block the IP? What if it's from a library or school? This sounds like a too harsh response. Could you not make new account user creation a a bit more of an effort/time (at least from the open proxies) to discourage abuse?

OK, I will vote for that bug. But it is not enough to have the software, you have to use it too.

Thanks for the response, Torville
