This is great! Where and how does it store banned IPs and Emails?

[gsk8]

Disregard, I found it My question is that I have this set to move users to banned group, but I think they are being deleted?

[Hostboard]

The only delete option is when you click on the user ID and select "Delete as Spammer" Even then you are given options to Delete or Ban the user via the drop down menu. This ability is tied into the option within the ACP 'Banned Usergroup' If I misunderstood please let me know.

And yes an update is forth coming. We are just behind the eight ball...

[gsk8]

Thanks for the quick response! I was having trouble locating spammers in the "banned" usergroup. I get the auto-email notification that they were stopped, but cannot find them anywhere in the db?

There's something horribly wrong with this plugin. After installing it and setting it up, I was immediately IP banned.. When I got on with another IP, I checked settings and a bunch of IPs were added to the ban list, including mine several times. Any idea what could be doing that? Uninstalling for now -- way too dangerous.
