Lisa,
Thanks for understanding the problem in banning IP's, e.g., with so many AOL users. The .htaccess idea sounds like something worth trying.... but could you give me some details instructions on how to set this up and where to put the file itself?
Unfortunately, I don't have the option to have new registrations approved by the Admnistrators/Moderators (I'm using the Perl version). So that's out!
Lastly, the SQL command which JoshPet gave me finds the "registration IP". Now this is a bit confusing to my aging gray matter because running this command on myself brings back an IP that has nothing even remotely similar to my actual WAN IP?? So would banning that "registration IP" be effective at all? []
