User Banning
Posted by tabulas at 03:23 PM on November 5, 2003 in Misc Features.
We've implemented a rough version of a "user banning" feature. This feature allows you to prevent specific Tabulas users or IP addresses from accessing your Tabulas; this does not prevent them from seeing entries posted to your friend's "friends page." This will simply block them from accessing all content at your journal URL.
You can find the banning feature underneath the "Preferences" tab in your control panel.
Please note that anyone CAN spoof their IP address via their browser settings; this feature should only really be used to block non-computer savvy people from visiting your journal. This is NOT a "foolproof" solution!
Paid/beta members also have the option of using IP wildcards; you can input the IP address as (for example): 152.23.203.*; this will ban everyone that share that IP block 152.23.203.
This is a feature under more development. Please let us know how you like it and we might expand it in the future.
