Banned IPs Getting Through
Is there a way a submitter can get around to IP ban feature? I have a submitters IP address in the banned list but I'm still getting submissions from him.

Is it the same IP?
Logic says it isnt. Dont forget, most people have dynamic (changing) IP's when they go onto the net.

Yeah, I double checked and it's the same IP. I wonder if they're somehow running the add.cgi script on their local machine or another server and getting around the block that way.

Anyway, I installed the Block Domains plugin. Hopefully we can get most of the spammers using the two different blocks.
