How to banned ip address that is spamming the site
Just wanted to help you guys out with a bit of html knowledge to take care of unwanted spammers/troll, i emailed paris about this also, hope it works out well for you guys
you guys are currently using this method which just blocks the username:
#get rid of bad bots
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^BadBot [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^EvilScraper [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^FakeUser
RewriteRule ^(.*)$
but this method would prevent the user ip address from having access to the site:
order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.44.201
deny from 224.39.163.12
deny from 172.16.7.92
allow from all

IP addresses can be banned from the vbulletin admin panel anyway.
