This is amusing in a way.

When we (The List Server Team) had an IP Ban feature in use, we had the community screaming on about power abuse and how no one should be banned from the list server. Then now when one stupid russian abuses it, people demand he gets banned and then complain that its not done.

I mean come on people, make your mind up, you either want an Admin in control, or you want the list server network to remain open.

Part of me just wants to ban him, because its clear he is an idiot who just needs to get a life, but at the same time, I'd have the J2o/JJ2 'elites' shouting at me for power abusing and threatening to remove support for the list server.

So its a no-win situation for me, someones always going to complain. However if it continues we may have to call people togeather and get some framework on IP banning back online, and also I'd have to install the IP filter on Digiex again (I removed it after the whole Orbitz thing ended).

My only threat to this russian idiot is, you have had your fun, but if you keep pushing people they will push for your ban more, and it will just be an entire range ban on your ISP so there won't be a way around, so stop pushing your luck. Orbitz did this a few years ago, and he was easily stopped, so it can be done.
