I believe it would be good if an urgent banning module could be developed as quickly as possible here.
THis remains one of the most visible waeknesses of GM. Right now, I have users that engage in Spam. THe only way to prevent them from doing harm is to suspend their account.
BUT, this does not prevent them from creating a new account and starting to spam again.
THis is worse than a security flaw. It leaves GM open to all sorts of abuses.
Can you guys please develop a quick addon that would:
- Make GM record all IPs a user has used to access GM.
- Allow the Admin to ban such IPs so that the user would no longer be able to access GM at all.
And while you are at it, please add an entry in the table that appears in Users --> List All that would show the status of the accounts. Right now, if an account is suspended, it is impossible to know this unless one clicks the "modify button". Another way to do this would be to add a link in the Users page that would show sonly suspended accounts.
I hope this can be done very fast. Small solutions like this need to be done to allow people to solve issues temporarily. We do not need to wait months until you release the next version in order to see solutions. That does not make sense.
THis request is urgent because our WEb sites and the servers that host them could end up being blocked by all the RBL lists that exist today, thus preventing us from continuing to provide service. It could also result in our servers or ISPs cancelling our accounts because they would see their IPs blacklisted on the Internet.
Thanks.
