Thanks, I will have a look through. :) Single ones probably shouldn't be indefinite, but that's a lesser concern, because a person can usually reconnect (or reset their router) and be assigned a different IP. A range I'm more concerned about - esp the two I removed were 15 and 16 bit respectively. That could cover an entire provider subnet, meaning anybody using that provider couldn't gain access.  That's reasonable for a week or two, to dissuade a a very aggressive vandal, but a longer block is very unfair to potentially 'ok' users in that area.
