We're having a fairly persistent vandal right now.
Since I'm not a developer, it's fairly easy for me to make suggestions. :-) I know it's a joke among programmers--"this will be simple," etc. Anyway, here's my idea: would it be possible to change the function of a ban so that it prevented a banned IP from changing a login or, if not logged in, prevented that IP from logging in? Is that something we would want to do, or not?
Hi,
blocked IP addresses won't be able to make edits, period. The problem is that I can't nail the vandal's IP without shell access to the server, so I can only block him by name. IP addresses are stored in Apache's access log only. Brion has access, once he's online, I'm sure he'll be able to help us out.
Regards,
Erik
