Is it possible somehow to ban a host in MyBB? Cause I have a annoying spammer, that keeps changing his IP addres with one number different, so I keep to have to do IP ban, and he keeps making new accounts with different IPs. I know it's the same guy, cause only the very last number of the IP adress always changes. Please help!

~regards, KK.
Example for your ban (assuming that only the last number is changing):

Ban: 1.2.3.4.*

The * will keep this user away from accessing your forums now, since every input at the last place will ban him.
Thanks, and I have to do that in: Board Settings --> Banning options, right? Toungue
Right.

MyBB will accept IPs in formats like this:
1.2.3.4
1.2.3.
The latter one will ban any user that has any "number" in the 4th section of the IP.
I thought the * was working for me °.o
It shouldn't be.

* will work in 1.4 however.
