Problem with banned user IPs - AOL proxy...

Ideas and help gratefully appreciated.

I have banned a user who was spamming.
I have since had some emails using the contact us link from a couple of other users who are asking why their IP address is banned!

I looked into it and about 40 users are all linked to this AOL.proxy IP address.

Its clear that they are all AOL customers.

Anyway, how can I allow this IP address without unbanning the bad user(s) who have registered with it?

VB doesnt seem to have enough control on user banning :(

Banning a user and banning an IP are 2 different things. If you don't want to ban the IP, just remove it from the banned IP list (or better: never add it to start with).

Ah...thanks Marco.
I thought they were interlinked.

I had a huge problem with a persistent Troll that used AOL and I created a whole set of scripts designed to lock out problems...

AOL is a real pain as every time AOL users log in they get a new IP address. So, you ban them and they come back with a new e-mail address and a new IP! The tools above solved my issues with AOL and it was AOL that caused me to write them.

Good Luck!
