I agree witht he ip thing, but hes probally on a dynamic ip which will result in someone else being banned when his dhcp lease expires. If you block on  higher level say that subnet your running into the same problem but on a larger scale. Ban the username and email address(es) maybe add a feature where a user has to post at least 10 times before they are allowed to make a private message(very easy, if you need help let me know). Also why not use a SQL statement to kill all private messages from the two users, this way anyone who has had the please of not opening it while at their job wont have to see it and our children will be safe.

Other than that, thanks for the directions on how to block the users, good luck admins!

I have just banned the new IP that AmySimpson has been coming from.  If neccessary I will ban the entire IP range.   Please let me know via IRC if you get any more and I will monitor this situation.

That doesn't make any sense, Janner :] We can't do "preemptive bans" on people.

 :'( MYYYYYYYYYYY EYE'S!!! They hurt from cry laughing so hard at this guy. He so wishes. My eyes also hurt because I saw red after thiking about all the young eyes this filth would fall on. I would say "doesn't anyone have any repsect anymore these days", but the pm pretty much answers that question. So with that said I am going to scrub my eyes out with soap and hope Long John Silver stays outta my pm box. Park your horse some where else Long John Silver!  >.>

 I am referring to this, it should have been added a long time ago, or something similar. Captcha is added by Acraig \o/

 We had trouble in game with a sicko, that was the warning.
