Comment Question about AC filtering (Score 0, Troll) 1057

Rob, could you take some time to discuss the recent changes with respect to storing IP profiles for every user, banning users, banning IP addresses, and banning entire subnets? Judging from the current updates posted to Sourceforge, it looks like you are working not just on filtering ACs but also on pre-filtering of logged in users, that is, preventing abusive users from posting. MySQL.pm in particular now contains this interesting code fragment:


#logem' so we can banem'
$self->sqlInsert("abusers", {
uid => $uid,
ipid => $ipid,
subnetid => $subnetid,
pagename => $script_name,
querystring => $query_string || '',
reason => $reason,
-ts => 'now()',

and

$submission->{subnetid} = getCurrentUser('subnetid');


Could you discuss who in particular you are logging and banning? Specifically, is it just those darn Windows advocates, or are you broadening the scope? Personally, I would really appreciate it if you could subnet ban those people for life.

Thanks,
-Sheldon.
