I've been running my PostNuke site for a year and a half now and I only just noticed there's no IP ban feature, which is quite surprising really. Is there an add on I can get to do this so I don't have to keep altering my htaccess file?

Also it there a way to delete a user AND all their comments in news articles, other than using phpMyAdmin and going through them all?

IP Banning is extremely unreliable. In fact, there's no way to permenantly ban someone from a site, every method can be easily circumvented. IP banning is also much better done through .htaccess if you're going to do it, for performance reasons.

Yeah i am making a .htaccess banning program but that will take some time for now you can use this one it works really well and if the person dose not have a staic ip just right a letter to his internet provider that you want that persons access to your website to be disabled
