Thanks, but I tried that and it didn't seem to work. I entered 220.224 in my blocked IP address list a couple of weeks ago, but my nuisance poster managed to post again yesterday anyway -- from an IP address starting with 220.224. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to have the second dot to make it work right?

: Yes, just enter the first two segments. Be warned however, that thsi may ban more than you want. For instance, if you have someone from 208.125.110.5 and 208.125.129.15 and 208.125.119.10 etc., then you would enter "208.125" but this will ban 255x255=65025 IP addresses, which could cause problems for innocent users.
