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
