So what does checking the Ban IP Address box actually do then? The mod emailed me just fine, indicating that "The actions you have configured in the Security Center have been taken." but according to your reply above the mod will not perform the action of (automatically) adding a new IP Address to the Banned IP Address box in vB.(i.e. What difference does it make, whether the Ban IP Address box is checked or not?)

While my question still remains (above), educate me as to why it would not be a good idea to automatically Ban an IP Address that is attempting to login using -1' -and/or- user name as the actual username? These examples just seem like nefarious attempts to gain illegitimate access to a board by general (up to) no-good-doers.
