I guess I am suggestin you should have this option in
the software.

Why block the IP? What if it's from a library or
school? This sounds like a too harsh response. Could
you not make new account user creation a a bit more of
an effort/time (at least from the open proxies) to
discourage abuse?

OK, I will vote for that bug. But it is not enough to
have the software, you have to use it too.
