 * Hi,
 * I have a wordpress blog up and running and recently there are some regular commenters
   on my blog who leave really abusive comments on the articles that get posted.
   One of the members has even had to leave the blog because of the abuse that person
   is getting. I have got the members names who are leaving the abusive comments
   and i just wondered weather there was anyway i could ban these people from posting
   on my blog permanently?
 * Thanks

 * you can start by deleting them as users
    dashboard -> Users
 * at
    dashboard – >Settings -> Discussion look at options under `Comment Moderation`
   if you have it where commenter must fill in name and email, you can put either
   or both in the box, etc.

 * Hi,
 * Is there anyway i can ban there IP address as well? I believe they could easily
   just leave a comment again with a new email address and name? I will first try
   deleting them as users as this will help too:-)
 * Thanks
