So what do you say? You think it can be done?

Well, it already has .... half of what you want.
In other words, it does allow you to define a warning type, which is characterized as "Permanent Ban". In other words, when this type of offence is commited and warned, the member is send directly to the banned members with a "permanent" ban duration.
As for the IP addresses, don't you think it's kind of dangerous? I mean an IP is not (unfortunatelly) always associated with one particular user. So, if you ban the IPs that that member has used in the past, it is quite possible, that you might be banning other legit members, who will try to visit the site in the future. Remote, indeed, but possible. Also, I spend some time this morning trying to find out if vB allows you to ban an IP address, I think I remember seeing something like that, but couldn't find it. Cosnidering that I went to bed at 5 am this morning, I am not very sure if my eyes could see what I was looking at. I'll check again later today.
For the time being, I am stuck with an issue which I can't understand. I have added the feature of sorting the Logs list, by the various columns presented there, in ascending or descending order (I thought that would be a useful feature). But for the life of me, I can't pass a certain sorting string to a parameter used in the select query. All other strings are passed find, but a string that asks the query to do an addition of two columns and sort on the result, doesn't work. If someone can help, please jump in or PM, or email me.
