Ban Control

Here you can control the banning of users. You can achieve this by banning either or both of a specific user or an individual or range of IP addresses or hostnames. These methods prevent a user from even reaching the index page of your board. To prevent a user from registering under a different username you can also specify a banned email address. Please note that banning an email address alone will not prevent that user from being able to log on or post to your board. You should use one of the first two methods to achieve this.

Ban one or more specific users
Username:
Un-ban one more specific users
Username:
You can unban multiple users in one go using the appropriate combination of mouse and keyboard for your computer and browser
Ban one or more IP addresses or hostnames
IP addresses or hostnames:
To specify several different IP addresses or hostnames separate them with commas. To specify a range of IP addresses, separate the start and end with a hyphen (-); to specify a wildcard, use an asterisk (*).
Un-ban one or more IP addresses
IP addresses or hostnames:
You can unban multiple IP addresses in one go using the appropriate combination of mouse and keyboard for your computer and browser

Un-ban one or more email addresses

Please note that entering a range of IP addresses results in all the addresses between the start and end being added to the banlist. Attempts will be made to minimise the number of addresses added to the database by introducing wildcards automatically where appropriate. If you really must enter a range, try to keep it small or better yet state specific addresses.
