I think the solution is simple, the forum should just stop sending these emails. Clearly, if the block is only IP based, then it doesn't affect your own login attempts, and since no harm is done, your account was always safe.

The only email I might want is perhaps something that says that a successful login took place, from a different IP that my last login.

All I need to know is if someone is changing my password or changing my email or even if they have logged in from an IP not normal for me. This could alert me to a compromised account.

These emails about lockouts don't seem to serve any purpose if the intention is NOT to block every single IP that comes through. I personally can't do jack with the emails, it's not like I can come here and do IP blocks myself. So this may be a case of TMI. Just stop emailing people about failed login attempts.

Is that hard?
