Does your mod allow the same configuration options?
I can't really tell by your sample pic as the text is so small I can't read the AdminCP options ...
On a side note, this looks really interesting and could consolidate several methods we use now ...

I am experiencing the same problem that some new members of our board are being rejected as spammers on their IP's, which are are transparent proxies or NAT gateways for thousands (in our case of South African) DSL clients.
Disabling the IP check is the solution for now but this is not ideal.
Is there a way of adding a whitelist unique to our own boards or have GlowHost developers considered an update in this regard?
That way we could add our own whitelist of IP's/networks to minimize false positives from our boards perspective.
If this has been discussed in more detail elsewhere please pass me a link.
