Topic: how to ban multiple ips?

I got hammered by spam. So I upgraded to the latest punbb and added the captcha install.  Thats all good.

Next step is to ban all the IPs and or user names. How do I ban all the IPs of the spam user names? I know how to ban an ip range, but thats not what I want. I want to ban every specific IP. Also, will banning the ips cause the posts to be deleted? Or do I have to delete the posts manually?

If you want to ban several ips, enter the ip-addresses separated by space in the Ban creation form. Other fields of the form can be left empty.

Banning a user does not affect that user's posts, you have to delete those posts manually.
