I'm not sure of the rationale either, Kotik, but there must be a reason. I've alerted all of the admins to your offer. This will get fixed, never fear.

News flash! I've figured out how to ban users. Party time!!!! :lol:

Before you ban IP's next time, can you please protocol them somewhere. Even if they are a lot of different ones, we could gain some valuable information about the source of these spam-attacks from them.

Never fear, Kotik. There's a list in the moderator logs. We've got it covered.

Thanks, EK. I'm still clueless about the difference between banning users and banning IP addresses, but as long as someone knows we're good. 8)

T'aint me, m'dear. Mjimeyg is the man in charge of software. He's working on the problem as we speak, or so I understand. Why don't you pm him and ask him?
