Hmm, right now it would be fairly easy to set it up to ban a username, but they could still log out and continue with the raw IP or a new username, which you'd have to block separately again...
If we block the raw IP, then the logged in user is also blocked. So what we really need is a way to see the IP of a logged in user. (No additional blocking functionality is needed, just IP viewing functionality.)
If moreover changes are tracked by IP as well as user name (I believe that these are already separate entries in the database tables), then we could track the effects of our bans better (in the case of dynamic IPs that might be used by good logged in contributors) by seeing *all* the contribs by an IP, not just anonymous contribs.
