[wp-forums] Blocked user will not accept being blocked

[Ipstenu the Half-Elf]

Ignore, yes.

Otto, he's using Yahoo, so I don't think that would help in this case 
unless you're proposing blocking Yahoo.

Would it be possible to see "This IP has made X accounts in 12 hours. 
It's a spammer. Auto-b-tag" ? That would catch most serial accounters 
as they're generally not that clever.
