[modifier_guy]

i want to keep track of peoples IP address and be able to block people. on my website i have a tagger message baord and it shows the ip address of the people who post, i want to be able to block them if they are rude on there. is there an easy to use IP blocker and logger?

Do you want instructions on how to develop one? Or do you simply want a link to an existing application?

i really want one that has a description on how to use and all not just a cut and paste thing iw ont know what to do with. i guess a detailed one on how to make one.

Ok, i should have asked before, but what language do you want to do it in?

The easiest way is to set up a database or textfile which lists all the banned IP address'. Each time a user submits the tagger, your app will scan the DB/textfile for the users IP address.
If a match is found, the user will be told he/she has been banned.
