I have been receiving comments on my blog from one person who leaves insulting and offending comments. They are not from spammers as I know the guy.
His IP never changes as he has broadband.
I want to ban his IP.
How come Word Press does not come with a default IP address blocker installed?
Options -> Discussion. The big text field with "When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name, URI, e-mail, or IP, hold it in the moderation queue: (Separate multiple words with new lines.)" right above it.
Try putting his name, e-mail or IP into that field.
Or install Spam Karma2, mark one of his comments as spammed and he'll be black-listed from it.
Or search here (or elsewhere on the web) for quick tips on blocking IPs with .htaccess (that's not really a WP question though).
Hopefully one of those approaches would help?
