I mean, how many are watching the live feed and want to ban for 5 minutes, usually I look there for strange behavior, and then it’s often been more than 5 minutes ago..
]]>Example 1: 195.47.89.*
Example 2: 195.47.*.*
Example 3: 195.*.*.*
Since not all blocked IPs fit Class A, B, or C IP ranges, but rather CIDR subnets of the aforementioned, this functionality would be most kindly appreciated.
Please advise.
Thanks, kindly

]]>Why i want to do that? Many commenting guests have dynamic IPs and i cant ban them after approving their first comments

]]>The problem/issue comes from the fact that Nginx does not parse these files dynamically. Meaning that after a change, you have to specifically reload Nginx to see the changes. For example, when banning a user for a brute force attack, your plugin writes a deny line in the /virtual-server/public_html/nginx.conf file. But this change is not picked up until you reload Nginx. So the attack continues unabated.
Are there any plans to address this?

]]>First of all, I’m pissed! What about being polite, maybe sending the webmaster (I got the webmaster tools for both) a message saying “Something is wrong with your site. We are getting spammed from you. If you don’t fix this, we will remove you from Google/Bing.” Nope, just remove, without any information, or any warning.
Actually, I don’t know why this is. Bing just removed everyting, site index and webmaster account. Google removed the index, but the Webmaster tools shows everything is okay! Thank you for the information, tell me again, what did you want me to fix?! You see why I’m pissed?
Secondly, I need to fix this. I just found out Jetpack for WordPress does some SEO work, sending information to search engines about new posts. I deactivated that feature on Jetpack. How does this SEO information work? May plugins interfere doing this, or how do they work? Do they send one unique notification each?
I found two broken links on my web page, form the rss feed. But I don’t use the RSS feed, and cannot find it. And I don’t bother. My page is not a news paper, or a blog with many updates. I don’t need it. But may those two unwanted links from nowhere be the reason for the banning?
Third. One last question. If you’ve read this far, is there anything I’ve missed?
Now I’m going to bed, hoping for a better tomorrow.

]]>I am fed up of getting spam comments on my site https://siebelunleashed.com.
I have installed akismet and it is working well but I would like to block them completely so I started adding entries into .htaccess file to ban the spam IP address.
I would like to know that adding large number of IP’s in htacess file is going to affect the performance of site. I have not seen any degradation of performance yet but is there any limit of adding entries in htaccess file.
Any information is appreciated.

Neel
Also how do you ban a member?
