A lot of people (so did I) asking for other hacks / plugins to ban people...

Well, the obvious solution is :

create a .htaccess file with the content

deny from <IP>

like

deny from 127.0.0.1

Put it in your forumroot - done

Execpt for the fact, most people have dynamic ips.. and banning their ip will be worthless if it changes, besides the fact you might loose out on members...

How do you take care of spammers on Proxy then ? Banning their IP is useless, banning email anyway ?

Afaik banning by hostname is not really possible, is it ?

Just keep banning until they eventually go away...

Most effective way indeed; usually it takes them a way more to sign up, confirm their account and start spamming than it takes you to delete/ban them again. Usually they give up after a while.

If you have a smallish site, 1000 member or so, you can ban ISP ranges with "deny from atl.bellsouth.net". Don't use IP's, use host names! That handles all of the Atlanta, GA area. You would be surprised how unique some member IP ranges are.

Of course if you have 10 members using that ISP and live in that area you can't really do that but many many times, I have been able to do that.

Proxies are usually slow as hell and that's a deterrent for them.
