However the log's a bit buggy (pretty UNIX timestamps instead of dates!)
The IP ban function needs some interface work as well; there should be a confirm-and-explain step, and perhaps an obvious way to unblock, should it ever be necessary.
Incidentally, I've protected said log page, since allowing anyone to edit it is tantamount to allowing anyone to ban IP addresses, which I'm not so sure is a good idea. It can be changed back easily enough if there's a good reason.
