Just in case: Brion, how do I block the IP of a logged-in user (never did that before)?
If you really need the IP of a logged-in user, you'll need to match up their last edit (as shown by contribs) with the web server logs. This is somewhat annoying, and deliberately so; banning people is a serious step, and isn't supposed to be one-click easy. (For one thing we can't afford the patent license!)
I was just asking because I was afraid of another "Google keywords" flood, and didn't have the time to revert them. Fortunately, it seems to have stopped.
Maybe we could afford the patent fee if we redirect our search queries to Amazon? That would also reduce server load ;-)
