Do anyone know if it is possible to ban a IP serie like 195.100.*.*, or 195.100.%.% in WWWThreads? In some programs you can type 195.100.%.%. By using "%" it be a "*".

Yes, I am very curious about this option too Scream. Will that syntax work when banning IPs in the admin area? Otherwise, what is the best method you recommend for dealing with non-compliant posters from dynamic IP addresses? Banning by username simply is not a viable option in that case...

Right now it wouldn't. However with a small change to the check_ban function in w3t.pm it might work.

Right now part of the query reads:

OR B_Hostname = $Hostname_q

If this was changed to

OR B_Hostname LIKE $Hostname_q this might have the desired effect.

Count me in on this request also. I cannot believe how the internet brings out the sociopath in some forum users. Dynamic IPs have not been a problem yet..., but..., all it takes is one.

Sampling some queries using the LIKE change appears to isolate my problem posters in the tests I ran.
