This is an interesting feature to add to BlockandNuke[1], but it would
be good to track if an IP that produces a spammer reappears with a
different user name after the spam user has been blocked.
Right now, BlockandNuke just blocks all IP addresses it sees from
spammers.
another thing I would suggest is something to indicate what BlockandNuke
is doing. I have it running for great lengths of time and all it says is
Banning
I know works only when I check the blocked users list & see that
BlockandNuke is responsible for a lot of them. Just would like to know
how long the process has to run to complete the job while it is doing
it. maybe a bar or timer, or something.
Thanks
